rs111033640 represents a variant consisting of a 4bp deletion occurring in the promoter region of the GALT gene. This variant is tightly linked to the classic Duarte variant (rs2070074); studies over the years have concluded that this 4-bp deletion, rs111033640, is actually the causal mutation in Duarte galactosemia and that rs2070074 is most likely a neutral polymorphism that just happened to be discovered first.OMIM

In 2018, a (relatively small) study concluded that infants carrying only one Duarte variant (i.e. heterozygotes) who are fed galactose-containing milk don't show any differences at ages 6-12 compared with those fed normal milk.10.1542/peds.2018-2516
