galactokinase is not because it gives you the lesser evil of galactosemia. the bad galactodemia is because of 1 phosphate uridil transferasa or some thing like that and that one can give you cataracts. Fructokinase again the good fructosoria bening B6 vitamin so is between A or D 50/50 i THINK ONE is for hunter but dont remember having gargoly stuff on it. and can give you the mental retardation and the corneal stuff So I go with D that I have never heard before Have in mind one year ago I took step 1 and this was my worst area

alpha-L-Iduronidase .. remember the L for hurLer.. Hunters need to see to hunt, so they do not get corneal clouding.

Gargolysm is tipically seen in the Hurler disease. Then Alpha-L-Iduronidase is the cause of increasing of Heparan and Dermatan sulphate.

"Although children born with this disease usually appear healthy at birth, during the first year of life the features become coarse, and the face assumes an abnormal appearance; in early times, individuals with this condition were often referred to as gargoylelike.The head becomes enlarged, and the patient has a prominent forehead, enlarged eyes, and a flattened nasal bridge. The lips are thick, and the tongue becomes enlarged."(http://www.emedicine.com/PED/topic1031.htm)

In the mucopolysacchardoses as well as mucolipidoses (such as I-cell)...you'll find that in addition to the large vacuoles, corneal clouding and deficient hydrolases...there will be significant bone/skeletal deformation. oh and retinal/corneal clouding is also a complication in fish eye disease.
