Overview
Causes
Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [3]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief:
Galactosemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner when one faulty gene is acquired from each of the carrier parents. The mutations responsible are as follows [1]:
===Type I/ Classic galactosemia=== : Impaired functioning of the GALT gene, leading to absence of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase enzyme [2]. ====Duarte variant==== : GALT gene dysfunction causes reduction of enzyme activity to 50 % [2]
===Type II galactosemia=== : Abnormality in the GALK1 gene [3]
===Type III galactosemia=== : Variation in the activity of the GALE gene [4]
===Type IV galactosemia=== :Biallelic mutations in the GALM gene [5]
