Overview

Accurate enzyme-based screening for early detection of galactosemia. Hereditary galactosemia is a severe disorder of carbohydrate metabolism caused by GALT enzyme deficiency. Without early diagnosis and management, affected newborns can develop liver failure, cataracts, or neurological impairment. The Neonatal GALT test provides a quantitative fluorometric analysis of enzyme activity from dried blood spots, ensuring reliable detection of GALT deficiency. When identified early, simple dietary adjustments—eliminating lactose and galactose—can prevent long-term complications and enable normal development.
