A child with Duarte variant galactosemia therefore generally has one parent who is a carrier for a severe (G) GALT mutation, and one parent who is a carrier for the Duarte variant. Patients with Duarte variant galactosemia usually show about 25% the normal level of GALT activity in red blood cells.
