Wright, Ernest M. Genetic Disorders of Membrane Transport. I. Glucose Galactose Malabsorption. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Gastrointest. Liver Physiol. 38): G879–G882, 1998.—Glucose Galactose Malabsorption is a genetic disorder caused by a defect in glucose and galactose transport across the intestinal brush border. Normally, lactose in milk is broken down into glucose and galactose by lactase, an ect...

D28G mutation in congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption.

BACKGROUND Congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the intestinal transport of glucose and galactose, leading to watery diarrhea, dehydration, failure to thrive, and early death. METHODS In this study, we analyzed D28G mutation in 16 family members of a patient with typical presentation of congenital glucose-galactose malabsorption with polymerase ...
