Galactosemia Panel
Use
This test is intended for individuals who show symptoms or have been clinically diagnosed with galactosemia. It may also be relevant for those with newborn screening results or biochemical/enzyme assay findings that are consistent with galactosemia. Early diagnosis can help guide treatment and management decisions, potentially improving outcomes by preventing complications associated with the disorder.
Special Instructions
To order this test, you can complete the process online via myPrevent, or use the test requisition form provided on the website to fax your order. Ensure that all necessary patient information and clinical records are accurately included to support the interpretation of results. STAT testing options are available for expedited processing.
Limitations
The Galactosemia Panel analyzes only the specified genes associated with the condition and may not identify other genetic factors contributing to similar symptoms. CNV (copy number variation) detection is performed through exome or genome platform approaches, which might not capture all types of genetic variations. False negatives or positives can occur, and additional testing may be required for a definitive diagnosis. The test is not cleared or approved by the US FDA, as it was developed under CAP and CLIA regulations by PreventionGenetics.
