What is Galactosemia Panel 1 Test?

Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a lack of any of the three enzymes needed for galactose metabolism. Galactosemia caused by a lack of Galactose- 1-phosphatel transferase (GALT) is the most common cause and is known as Classical Galactosemia.

Duarte variant galactosemia has higher levels of enzyme activity (5-20%) than classical galactosemia (5%). Elevated plasma galactose levels in Galactosemia patients may indicate ineffective dietary restriction or compliance. Increased galactose concentrations may also indicate severe hepatitis, new born biliary atresia, and galactose intolerance.

Other Names:

GALT-1 test
