There are 5 different disorders that result in galactosemia differentiated into three main types. The worst is the Classic form and there are over 180 different mutations associated with this form.

The GALT gene is modified by substitution is these examples.

The most common one in Caucasian is a single substitution of arginine for glutamine at position 188 on the protein.

Another mutation that occurs almost exclusively in individuals of African decent is

a single substitution of leucine for serine at position 135.
