The generalised form of epimerase deficiency galactosaemia has been described in only two children from unrelated families. Their progress is reported and three other affected children from these families are described. The initial presentation was similar to classic galactosaemia. Despite treatment all have shown poor growth and moderate learning difficulties. Three have sensorineural deafness and four have pronounced dysmorphic features. The two older female patients have normal pubertal development.
表异构酶缺乏型半乳糖血症的全身性形式仅在来自非相关家庭的两名儿童中被描述过。本文报告了他们的病情进展,并描述了来自这些家庭的另外三名患病儿童。最初的表现与典型半乳糖血症相似。尽管接受了治疗,但所有患儿均生长发育不良且有中度学习困难。三名患儿有感觉神经性耳聋,四名患儿有明显的畸形特征。两名年龄较大的女性患者青春期发育正常。
