Autozomálně recesivní
Includes classic galactosemia (GALT) and galactokinase (GALK1), epimerase (GALE) and mutarotase (GALM) deficiencies, which can cause life-threatening illness in newborns, liver problems or cataracts; the common Duarte variant on its own usually causes no disease.
Co se diagnózou změní
Knowing allows prompt removal of galactose from the diet, which prevents the acute newborn illness and, in galactokinase deficiency, cataracts.
