Social cognition, emotion-regulation and social competence in classical galactosemia patients without intellectual disability

CONCLUSION: This study shows that CG patients without intellectual disability are satisfied with their social competence, especially social functioning. Nevertheless, deficits in social cognition are present in a large proportion of CG-patients. Due to the large variability in scores and discrepancies between self- and proxy-report, an individually tailored, comprehensive neuropsychological assessment including social cognition is advised in all CG-patients. Treatment plans need to be customized to the individual patient.PMID:38178723 | DOI:10.1017/neu.2023.61
