Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Galactosemia is an inherited disorder (transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait). It occurs at a rate of approximately 1 out of 60,000 births. There are 3 forms of the disease galactose-1 phosphate uridyl transferase deficiency (classic galactosemia) and deficiency of galactose kinase or galactose-6-phosphate epimerase. Of these, the galactose-1-phosphate transferase deficiency is the most severe (and more common). People with galactosemia are unable to fully metabolize the simple sugar galactose. Galactose makes up half of the sugar, called lactose, that is found in milk. Lactose is called a disaccharide (di meaning 2 and saccharide meaning sugar) since lactose is made up of two sugars, galactose and glucose, bound together.

    Extractions: Galactosemia (Guh-LAK-toe-SEE-me-ah) is a disease in which galactose cannot be broken down in the body. Galactose is a simple sugar found in breast milk, many formulas, and milk products. Children with Galactosemia cannot break down the galactose, so it remains at high levels in their body. The effects of these high levels can harm a child's eyes, liver, and brain. About 1 in 4 infants with untreated Galactosemia develop serious infections in the first or second week of life. This damage can be prevented by placing the child on a special diet within the first few days of life. My child had an abnormal test. What do I do now? An abnormal test does not necessarily mean that your child has Galactosemia. But the only way to make sure is to have a "confirmatory test." This test is more specific than the first test and can give your doctor more information. The first thing to do is to get your child retested as soon as possible. If your child does have Galactosemia, damage and death can be prevented if it is found and treatment started within the first few days of life. Until the confirmatory test results have been received, the child should be taken off breast milk or regular formulas and be placed on a non-lactose formula, such as soy. How is Galactosemia treated?

    http://www.idph.state.il.us/HealthWellness/fs/galactosemia.htm
    
    Extractions: Galactosemia is an inherited defect of galactose metabolism caused by an enzyme deficiency that prevents proper metabolism and utilization of galactose, or milk sugar. The main dietary source of galactose is lactose, the principle carbohydrate found in all forms of milk. Although infants with galactosemia may appear normal at birth, within a few days to two weeks after initiating milk feedings, the symptoms of untreated galactosemia can become very severe. Early signs of the disease include feeding problems, poor sucking reflex, jaundice and hepatomegaly. Other symptoms may include failure to thrive, lethargy, cataracts, hypoglycemia, coagulation problems and decreased immunity. The incidence of classical galactosemia is one in 60,000 births. Illinois began testing for galactosemia in 1984 and more than 50 cases of classical galactosemia, 120 carriers and 20 cases with a variant form of the disorder have been identified. Galactosemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. As an autosomal recessive disorder, the parents of a child with galactosemia are unaffected, healthy carriers of the condition and have one normal gene and one abnormal gene. With each pregnancy, carrier parents have a 25 percent chance of having a child with two copies of the abnormal gene, resulting in classical galactosemia. Carrier parents have a 50 percent chance of having a child who is an unaffected carrier and a 25 percent chance of having an unaffected, non-carrier child. These risks would hold true for each pregnancy. All siblings of infants confirmed to have galactosemia also should be tested; genetic counseling services should be offered to the family.

    Extractions: Help for sleepless parents Encyclopedia Index G galactosemia Search galactosemia Galactosemia is a rare (1:60,000 births) autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by an inherited lack of an enzyme responsible for processing milk sugar in the body. Milk sugar - lactose - consists of a glucose molecule joined to a galactose molecule. It is first split into the two molecules, and then the galactose molecule is normally converted to glucose and utilized. Galactosemia is caused by an inborn lack of an enzyme that is vital to this conversion process of galactose to glucose. As soon as the baby begins to ingest large amounts of lactose in its milk, galactose builds up in the bloodstream. This rapidly results in liver damage with jaundice, clotting abnormalities and bleeding disorders, and hypoglycemia, as well as kidney damage and cataracts of the eyes. Many state laboratories (if not all) screen all newborns for galactosemia at birth when the PKU test is performed. Treatment of galactosemia is straightforward once identified - the elimination of milk sugar (lactose) from the diet. Babies are fed either soy-based formula or one of the newer lactose-free formulas.

    Extractions: Galactosemia is an inherited disease where the transformation of galactose to glucose is blocked, allowing galactose to increase to toxic levels in the body. If galactosemia is untreated, high levels of galactose cause vomiting, diarrhea , lethargy, low blood sugar, brain damage, jaundice , liver enlargement, cataracts , susceptibility to infection, and death Description Galactosemia is a rare but potentially tragic disease that kills very young babies. However, thanks to an understanding of the root of the problem, infant death from galactosemia can be prevented by giving simple tests to newborns. Galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism. "Metabolism" refers to all the chemical reactions that take place in living organisms. A metabolic pathway is a series of reactions where the product of each step in the series is the starting material for the next step. Because of energy barriers, essentially none of the reactions in organisms occur at any measurable rate unless a catalyst (a compound that affects the rate of a chemical reaction) is present. Most catalysts in organisms, including those required for the transformation of galactose to glucose in humans, are enzymes (large protein molecules). Their ability to function depends on their structure, and their structure is determined by the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequence of the genes that encode them. Inborn errors of metabolism are caused by defective genes.

    Extractions: Galactosemia Unit ENZYME TEST: GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPATE URIDYL TRANSFERASE Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (Gal-1-PUT) is one of the enzymes necessary to convert galactose-1-phosphate into glucose-1-phosphate. A decrease or lack of the enzyme will cause an elevated galactose level in the bloodstream. Classical galactosemia is a hereditary autosomal recessive disorder characterized by seizures, mental retardation, cataracts, and can be fatal. Most cases of galactosemia are due to partial deficiency or complete absence of the enzyme, Gal-1-PUT. Screening for the Gal-1-PUT enzyme in newborns is important for the early diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. If Gal-1-PUT deficiency is detected, infants should be placed on lactose free diets. PRINCIPLES OF THE TEST The procedure manufactured by Perkin-Elmer Wallac, Inc . is an adaptation of the Beutler and Baluda procedure. The assay is based on the enhancement of the fluorescence of NADPH through a series of enzymatic reactions. This is a quantitative method that measures the enzyme galactose -1-phosphate uridyl transferase. TOTAL GALACTOSE Galactose is a sugar formed from dietary lactose. It is converted to galactose-1-phosphate and other metabolites by several enzymes, especially phosphogalactose uridyl transferase. A decrease or lack of the enzyme will cause elevated galactose and galactose-1-phosphate levels in the bloodstream.
