General Information of Disease (ID: DISEB0V4)

Disease Name Galactokinase deficiency
Synonyms
Galk deficiency; galactosemia 2; hereditary galactokinase deficiency; galactokinase deficiency galactosemia; galactokinase deficiency with cataracts; galactosemia type 2; galactosemia II; GALK-D; galactokinase deficiency; GALK deficiency
Definition
Galactokinase deficiency is a rare mild form of galactosemia characterized by early onset of cataract and an absence of the usual signs of classic galactosemia, i.e. feeding difficulties, poor weight gain and growth, lethargy, and jaundice.
