what type of inheritance pattern does galactosemia follow
Galactosemia (British galactosaemia) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder that affects an individual's ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. Galactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation.alactosemia follows an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance that confers a deficiency in an enzyme responsible for adequate galactose degradation.
Galactosemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. As an autosomal recessive disorder, the parents of a child with galactosemia are unaffected, healthy carriers of the condition and have one normal gene and one abnormal gene.n Illinois, newborn screening for galactosemia is designed to detect classical galactosemia due to a deficiency of the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) enzyme; primary screening is performed by fluorometric assay.
