    Abstract

    Background: Classical galactosemia (CG) (OMIM #230400) is a rare disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, due to deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.12). The pathophysiology of the long-term complications, mainly cognitive, neurological, and female infertility remains poorly understood. Objectives: This study investigated (a) the association between specific IgG N-glycosylation biomarkers (glycan peaks and grouped traits) and CG patients (n = 95) identified from the GalNet Network, using hydrophilic interaction ultraperformance liquid chromatography and (b) a further analysis of a GALT c.563A-G/p.Gln188Arg homozygous cohort (n = 49) with correlation with glycan features with patient Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ), and (c) with galactose intake. Results: A very significant decrease in galactosylation and sialylation and an increase in core fucosylation was noted in CG patients vs controls (P < .005). Bisected glycans were decreased in the severe GALT c.563A-G/p.Gln188Arg homozygous cohort (n = 49) (P < .05). Logistic regression models incorporating IgG glycan traits distinguished CG patients from controls. Incremental dietary galactose intake correlated positively with FSIQ for the p.Gln188Arg homozygous CG cohort (P < .005) for a dietary galactose intake of 500 to 1000 mg/d. Significant improvements in profiles with increased galactose intake were noted for monosialylated, monogalactosylated, and monoantennary glycans. Conclusion: These results suggest that N-glycosylation abnormalities persist in CG patients on dietary galactose restriction which may be modifiable to a degree by dietary galactose intake.
