What Histological Techniques are Used to Diagnose GALT Deficiency?
Diagnosis of GALT deficiency often involves a combination of biochemical assays and histological techniques: - Enzyme Assays: Measurement of GALT activity in red blood cells. - Histological Staining: Techniques like PAS staining can reveal glycogen accumulation in tissues. - Molecular Techniques: PCR and sequencing to identify specific GALT mutations.
