Classical Galactosemia is an inborn error of metabolism, a disease in which galactose (milk sugar) is not processed correctly in the cells of the body. The enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT) is an enzyme essential for one of the steps in the conversion of galactose into glucose, which is used by the body for energy.

The Swedish National Pediatric Cataract Register (PECARE): Coexisting systemic disorders 2007–2023
Abstract Purpose To analyse the frequency and type of coexisting systemic disorders in children operated on for cataract in Sweden. Methods Data were retrieved from the Swedish National Pediatric Cataract Register (PECARE) for children operated between January 1, 2007, and December 31, 2023 (n = 975), including follow‐ups at age 1, 2, 5 and 10 ...

ABSTRACT Multiple carboxylase deficiency (MCD) is a rare, treatable inborn error of biotin metabolism that may present in children in the first year of life with life‐threatening metabolic crises. We report a 4‐month‐old child presenting with persistent seizures, eczematous rash near the orifices, unjustified loss of hair with baldness, and severe ...

A Drosophila melanogaster model of classic galactosemia [PDF]
SUMMARY Classic galactosemia is a potentially lethal disorder that results from profound impairment of galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (GALT). Despite decades of research, the underlying pathophysiology of classic galactosemia remains unclear, in part owing to the lack of an appropriate animal model.

Long-term complications in classic galactosemia are not progressive
Classic galactosemia (CG) is a potentially lethal genetic disorder that results from profound deficiency of galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase. Despite early detection and life-long dietary restriction of galactose, which is the current standard of care, many patients with CG grow to experience a range of long-term developmental complications that can ...

Biochemical Diagnosis of Common Gene Mutations in Galactosemia
Objective: Galactosemia is an inborn error of galactose metabolism that is inherited in an autosomal recessive trait. Classical galactosemia is caused by deficient activity of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) enzyme that can result in ...

Traveller mothers: Obstetric and neonatal outcomes in an Irish maternity unit
Abstract Objective Travellers' ethnicity was only formally acknowledged by the Irish State in 2017. They experience persistent racism and discrimination, resulting in poorer outcomes in terms of health, education, employment, and accommodation. Previous studies have reported higher rates of infant mortality and stillbirths among Traveller mothers. This
