CLASSIC GALACTOSEMIA

Alternate names

CLASSIC GALACTOSEMIA Is also known as galt deficiency, galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase deficiency, galactosemia type 1

Description

Classic galactosemia is a life-threatening metabolic disease with onset in the neonatal period. Infants usually develop feeding difficulties, lethargy, and severe liver disease.

Most common symptoms of CLASSIC GALACTOSEMIA

  • Intellectual disability
  • Ataxia
  • Failure to thrive
  • Cataract
  • Feeding difficulties

GALACTOSEMIA

Alternate names

GALACTOSEMIA Is also known as galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency, galt deficiency, galactosemia, classic

Description

Classic galactosemia is an autosomal recessive disorder of galactose metabolism. Most patients present in the neonatal period, after ingestion of galactose, with jaundice, hepatosplenomegaly, hepatocellular insufficiency, food intolerance, hypoglycemia, renal tubular dysfunction, muscle hypotonia, sepsis, and cataract. Long-term complications include mental retardation, verbal dyspraxia, motor abnormalities, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism (summary by Bosch, 2006).

Most common symptoms of GALACTOSEMIA

  • Intellectual disability
  • Seizures
  • Global developmental delay
  • Generalized hypotonia
  • Microcephaly
