    Genetic galactosaemia, caused by enzyme deficiencies, was diagnosed in three Black patients from Harare. This study calculated the incidence of classic transferase deficiency in this population to be 1:52,000.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Genetics
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Galactosaemia encompasses genetic disorders due to deficiencies in galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase or galactokinase.
    • Accurate diagnosis relies on quantitative enzyme assays.

    Observation:

    • Seven Black patients presenting with galactosaemia symptoms were evaluated.
    • Enzyme assays were performed for diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • Three patients were diagnosed with classic homozygous galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency.
    • The calculated incidence of this condition in the studied population is 1:52,000.

    Implications:

    • This research highlights the prevalence of genetic galactosaemia in specific populations.
