Galactosemia (British Galactosaemia) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual’s ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation.
