Overview
The only scientifically approved and effective treatment for classic galactosemia is eliminating galactose from the diet, through elimination of dairy products. Individuals with Duarte variant of galactosemia do not need to eliminate galactose from their diet at all and may not experience any symptoms. However, even with an early diagnosis and subsequent elimination of galactose from the diet, some individuals diagnosed with classic galactosemia experience long term complications such as speech difficulties, learning disabilities and neurological impairment. Newborns with classic galactosemia will show symptoms the first days of life if they are fed formula or breast milk which contain lactose. They will develop symptoms like convulsions, irritability, lethargy, poor appetite and baby refusing to be fed, poor weight gain, vomiting and jaundice noticed with yellow skin and yellow whites of the eyes.
Natural History
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [3] Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Sujaya Chattopadhyay, M.D.[4]
Acute neonatal illness is experienced by most patients. A reported lower enzyme activity leads to more severe presentation while newborn screening results in detection at more favorable stages of the disease. Clinical features include [1] having one or more of:
A younger age of diagnosis and early introduction of dietary changes exert a positive effect on the natural history of galactosemia [2] [3].
Complications
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [5] Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Sujaya Chattopadhyay, M.D.[6]
Despite dietary modifications, most of the galactosemic patients develop neurological and/or gonadal complications and are at risk of bone damage [1].
Neurological , cognitive and behavioral complications [4]:
- Tremor: Most often seen in the second decade of life [1]
- General motor abnormality ataxia
- Seizures
- Dystonia
Prognosis
