Galactosemia is a condition that affects how the body digests the sugar galactose. The most common form of galactosemia, type I, is the most severe, and it results from mutations within the GALT gene, which encodes for an enzyme that processes galactose. Galactosemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
