The “Galactosemia GALT Gene Mutation Detection Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure available at DNA Labs UAE, aimed at identifying mutations in the GALT gene, which are responsible for galactosemia. Galactosemia is a genetic disorder that affects an individual’s ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. The condition can lead to various health issues, including liver damage, growth problems, and intellectual disabilities if not diagnosed and managed early.

This test is crucial for early detection, enabling timely intervention and management to mitigate the adverse effects of the disorder. By analyzing DNA samples, the test identifies specific mutations in the GALT gene that are indicative of galactosemia, providing essential information for healthcare providers to develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Offered at a cost of 1600 AED, the test at DNA Labs UAE represents a significant step forward in the genetic diagnosis and management of galactosemia, offering hope and improved outcomes for affected individuals and their families.

Test Details

The GALACTOSEMIA (GALT) GENE MUTATION DETECTION test is a genetic test that is used to identify mutations in the GALT gene. This gene is responsible for producing an enzyme called galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, which is involved in the breakdown of galactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.

Galactosemia is an inherited disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down galactose. If left untreated, it can lead to serious health problems, including liver damage, kidney problems, and intellectual disability. The GALT gene mutations are the most common cause of galactosemia.

The GALT gene mutation detection test involves analyzing a person’s DNA to identify any mutations or changes in the GALT gene. This can be done through various methods, such as DNA sequencing or targeted mutation analysis. The test can determine if a person carries mutations in the GALT gene, which can help diagnose galactosemia or determine if a person is a carrier of the condition.

The test is typically ordered for individuals who have symptoms of galactosemia or for those who have a family history of the condition. It can also be done for newborn screening purposes in some countries to identify infants who may have galactosemia. The results of the test can help guide treatment decisions and provide information about the risk of passing on the condition to future children.

Genetic counseling is often recommended for individuals who test positive for GALT gene mutations to discuss the implications of the results and to provide support and guidance.
