|
| 15. | Galactosemia can even be detected through NBS before any ingestion of galactose-containing formula or breast milk.
|
| 16. | Galactosemia is caused by mutations in the gene that makes the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase.
|
| 17. | Dietary reduction of galactose is also the treatment but not as severe as in patients with classical galactosemia.
|
| 18. | Dosage is reduced in case of galactosemia as most preparations contain the monosaccharide galactose due to its synthesis process.
