  2. Duarte galactosemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duarte_galactosemia

    Duarte galactosemia is an inherited condition associated with diminished ability to metabolize galactose due to a partial deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. [1] DG differs from classic galactosemia in that patients with Duarte galactosemia have partial GALT deficiency whereas patients with classic galactosemia ...

    In most regions, galactosemia is diagnosed as a result of newborn screening, most commonly by determining the concentration of galactose in a dried blood spot. Some regions will perform a second-tier test of GALT enzyme activity on samples with elevated galactose, while others perform both GALT and galactose measurements.

  4. Galactosemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galactosemia

    A galactosemia test is a blood test (from the heel of the infant) or urine test that checks for three enzymes that are needed to change galactose sugar that is found in milk and milk products into glucose, a sugar that the human body uses for energy. A person with galactosemia does not have one of these enzymes.

    Dietary reduction of galactose is also the treatment but not as severe as in patients with classical galactosemia. This deficiency can be systemic or limited to red blood cells and leukocytes. [citation needed] Screening is performed by measuring GAL-1-P urydil transferase activity.

  7. Goldberg test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldberg_test

    Goldberg test may refer to any of various psychiatric tests used to assess mental health in general or as screening tools for specific mental disorders e.g. depression or bipolar disorder. Goldberg , after whom some psychiatric tests are named, might be one of two psychiatrists who share the same last name: Ivan Goldberg , an American ...

    The following disorders are additional conditions that may be detected by screening. Many are listed as "secondary targets" by the 2005 ACMG report. [1] Some states are now screening for more than 50 congenital conditions. Many of these are rare and unfamiliar to pediatricians and other primary health care professionals. [1] Blood cell disorders

    Among these are Leu4, Phe75, Asn77, Asp78, Phe79, and Val108, which are consistent with residues that have been implicated both in point mutation experiments as well as in clinical screening that play a role in human galactosemia. [8] [10] GALT also has minimal (~0.1%) GalNAc transferase activity.
