Determining the biochemical phenotype for galactosemia when enzymatic and molecular results are incongruent
A quantitative galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase level (GALT/8333 Galactose-1-Phosphate Uridyltransferase [GALT], Blood) is required for accurate interpretation.
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
.
Additional Tests Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| GALT | Gal-1-P Uridyltransferase, RBC | Yes | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
A quantitative galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) level (GALT/8333 Galactose-1-Phosphate Uridyltransferase [GALT], Blood) is used in addition to the isoelectric focusing for accurate interpretation. If recent GALT test results are not provided, GALT will be automatically performed at an additional charge. However, if previous GALT results are provided, GALT testing will be cancelled and not charged.
