The only treatment of the ill effects from galactosemia is to eliminate lactose and galactose from your diet. Other side effects of this condition include speech deficits, ataxia, dysmetria, and diminished bone density.
Galactosemia II is caused by defects in both copies of the gene that codes for an enzyme called galactokinase (GALK). The frequency of occurrence of galactosemia II is about one in 100,000-155,000 births.
The health condition galactosemia occurs when the body has a deficiency in processing glucose. The condition mostly affects infants and can be life threatening if not treated.
Galactosemia... the word "lactose" in this word should have given you a thoughtless answer.
Galactosemia is a deficiency in the enzymes galactokinase or uridyl transferase, thereby affecting the synthesis and degradation of glycogen synthesis/galactose metabolism. At this point, there is no gene therapy available for treatment - treatment is only through strict dietary control.
yes
Galactosemia is a very rare disease that is received through a recessive trait. It is hardly diagnosed but can also be very easily confused with lactose intolerance. Though the two can be very similar but they are very different. Galactosemia is when your body cannot process galactose and lactose intolerance is when your body cannot process lactose. Lactose and galactose can be found in generally the same food group, dairy. The very important difference between the two is that lactose intolerance causes the symptoms of gas, cramps and diarrhea and galactosemia causes excess fat to build up in the brain, cause mental retardation and finally death.
Galactosemia is a genetic disorder which is caused by a lack of the GALT enzyme. This is essential in breaking down the milk sugar galactose.
Galactosemia is a condition where infants have trouble digesting lactose to the point where it could harm their organs. People's systems get stronger as people age so older children are no longer affected by the condition.
it was found in 1908 by Von Ruess
