Frequently Asked Questions
This test detects mutations in the GALT gene, responsible for galactosemia, a disorder affecting galactose metabolism.
This test is recommended for:
- Newborns with a positive newborn screening result.
- Infants presenting with jaundice, vomiting, or failure to thrive.
- Individuals with a family history of galactosemia.
A blood sample is analyzed using DNA sequencing or PCR to detect mutations in the GALT gene.
- Positive Mutation: Confirms galactosemia diagnosis.
- Negative Mutation: Rules out galactosemia but does not exclude other metabolic disorders.
Early detection and management prevent severe complications, including liver damage and developmental delays.
