Abstract excerpt
Newborn screening can identify patients with classical galactosaemia, and their diagnosis needs to be confirmed with assay of the activity of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT). Unfortunately, in many cases the results can be ambiguous and further testing is required. Here we report a combination of biochemical analysis of GALT enzyme activity and mutation analysis of the most common mutations in the...
