Useful For

Identifying variants in individuals who test negative for the common variants and who have a biochemical diagnosis of galactosemia or galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase activity levels indicative of carrier status

Genetics Test Information

This test utilizes next-generation sequencing to detect single nucleotide and copy number variants in 1 gene associated with galactosemia: GALT.

 

Identification of a pathogenic variant may assist with diagnosis, prognosis, clinical management, familial screening, and genetic counseling for galactosemia.

 

Additional first tier testing may be considered/recommended. For more information see Galactosemia Testing Algorithm.
