Abstract
194 cord blood samples were studied in both a fluorimetric assay and an electrophoresis method for Gal-1-PUT. From this the expected live birth incidence was 1:37000. The New Zealand neonatal screening programme has detected 5 cases in 223326 live births--an apparent incidence of 1:44600. The Beutler testing of dried blood spots collected on filter paper cards is a satisfactory method of detecting galactosaemia in the neonate.Entities:
