Vedclass · Answer

(A) Galactosemia is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual's ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. Galactose is a component of lactose,which is found in milk and dairy products. In patients with galactosemia,the enzyme required to break down galactose is deficient or absent. If galactose accumulates in the body,it can cause serious health problems,including liver damage,kidney failure,and brain damage. Therefore,the primary treatment for galactosemia is the strict elimination of galactose and lactose from the diet. Since milk contains lactose (which breaks down into glucose and galactose),children with this condition must be given a galactose-free diet.
