|
| 2. | A person with galactosemia doesn't have one of these enzymes.
|
| 3. | The routine NBS is accurate for detection of galactosemia.
|
| 4. | This is largely due to a lack of functional animal models of classic galactosemia.
|
| 5. | Galactosemia is sometimes confused with lactose intolerance, but galactosemia is a more serious condition.

|
| 7. | Carriers show no symptoms of galactosemia.
|
| 8. | Studies of Type III galactosemia symptoms are mostly descriptive, and precise pathogenic mechanisms remain unknown.
|
| 9. | Because early intervention is key, galactosemia is included in newborn screening programs in many areas.
