Classic Galactosemia Overview

Classic galactosemia, a Type I disorder stemming from deficiency in the galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) enzyme, is an inherited condition affecting galactose metabolism. The primary treatment approach currently utilized, a diet restricted in galactose, addresses the neonatal symptoms but does not entirely prevent chronic issues that may arise. Mutations within the GALT gene, located on chromosome 9p13, lead to classic galactosemia by disrupting the function of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase enzyme. Variants of this gene, such as the Duarte variant, are associated with varying levels of enzyme activity, resulting in milder or absent symptoms of galactosemia. Symptoms typically manifest when affected individuals consume breast milk or lactose-containing formula, leading to feeding difficulties, failure to thrive, and indications of liver damage such as jaundice, bleeding tendencies, and hypoglycemia. Without appropriate intervention, which primarily involves galactose restriction, there is a risk of sepsis (commonly from E-coli) and even neonatal mortality. Despite adherence to treatment protocols, long-term complications may arise, including cognitive deficits, motor impairments, ovarian dysfunction impacting fertility in women, and reduced bone density. Many nations include galactosemia screening as part of routine neonatal care. In cases where neonatal screening is absent, diagnosis relies on clinical presentation, which can be confirmed through metabolic assays, assessment of enzyme activity, and genetic analysis of the GALT gene. Differential diagnoses may involve conditions like galactose epimerase deficiency and other disorders leading to acute neonatal liver disease. Treatment primarily revolves around restricting galactose intake through diet, with infants typically being fed soy-based or lactose-free formulas. Lifelong adherence to this dietary regimen is recommended, supplemented with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K, to maintain bone health if dietary intake falls short of recommended levels. Regularly monitoring cognitive, motor, and gonadal function and bone mass is essential. Additionally, eye examinations are advisable, particularly in cases where neonatal cataracts are present or if dietary compliance is a concern. The prognosis hinges on factors such as the age of diagnosis, disease severity, and adherence to dietary restrictions, all of which influence the onset and progression of secondary complications.
