Abstrakt: Galactose 1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency causes the accumulation of galactose and galactose 1-phosphate (Gal 1-P) in the blood. We describe a new pulsed amperometric detection method for determining Gal 1-P levels as a pathognomic marker for the diagnosis of galactosemia. The method uses high-performance anion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection. In an anion-exchange column, the analytes were separated in 5 min by the eluent mixture of 40 mM NaOH and 40 mM Na(2)CO(3). The detection limit (signal to noise ratio of 3) to Gal 1-P was 30 microg/dL. The linear dynamic range was 3.0-50 mg/dL (r(2)=0.9999). The mean recoveries of Gal 1-P for intra- and interday assays were 97.55-103.78%. This method clearly separated the type I galactosemia patients from the normal group and is a practical procedure for the rapid diagnosis of galactosemia.
