Galactose-1-Phosphate Uridyl Transferase (GALT)  

Classic Galactosemia (OMIM# 230400) is an inherited autosomal recessive disorder of galactose metabolism, caused by mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl-transferase (GALT) gene.

The aim of this database is to record all mutations and polymorphisms identified within this gene, as well as any associated clinical information relating to the mutation (Genebank accession number M96264.1 or cDNA M60091.1).

ARUP Laboratories offers the following molecular testing:

  • Full gene sequencing for the GALT gene, (test 0051346)
