Ryan EL, DuBoff B, Feany MB, Fridovich-Keil JL. Mediators of a long-term movement abnormality in a Drosophila melanogaster model of classic galactosemia. Dis Model Mech. 2012 Nov;5(6):796-803. doi: 10.1242/dmm.009050. PMID: 22736462; Now freely available at PMCID: PMC3484862.
From the abstract: "... our results confirm that, like human patients, GALT-null Drosophila experience significant long-term complications that occur independently of galactose exposure, and serve as a proof of principle demonstrating utility of the GALT-null Drosophila model as a tool for exploring genetic and environmental modifiers of long-term outcome in GALT deficiency."
