GALT 3 variants detected: Carrier for galactosemia
GALT 4 or more variants detected: Positive for galactosemia

What does this test Galactosemia Gene Panel identify?

  • The Galactosemia Gene Panel is a genetic test that identifies mutations in genes associated with galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to metabolize galactose, a type of sugar found in milk and dairy products.
  • This test specifically looks for mutations in the GALT, GALK1, and GALE genes, which are responsible for encoding enzymes involved in the breakdown of galactose.
  • Identifying mutations in these genes can help diagnose galactosemia and determine the appropriate treatment and management strategies for affected individuals.

Why is this test Galactosemia Gene Panel taken?

Click to expand

The Galactosemia Gene Panel test is taken to diagnose galactosemia, an inherited metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down galactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. This test looks for mutations in genes that are responsible for the enzymes needed to process galactose.

Galactosemia can lead to serious health problems if not managed properly, including liver damage, cataracts, and intellectual disabilities. Early detection through genetic testing can help in implementing dietary restrictions and other treatments to prevent these complications.
