Don't worry, we just need to adjust it slightly. Just add about 250 calories to your current daily calorie intake (so if you were just eating 2500 calories per day, you'd now eat 2750 calories per day) and then monitor what your weight does over the next couple of weeks.
TEXT. A number sign (#) is used with this entry because classic galactosemia is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase gene (GALT; 606999) on chromosome 9p13.Description.EXT. A number sign (#) is used with this entry because classic galactosemia is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase gene (GALT; 606999) on chromosome 9p13.
A missing enzyme needed to break down galactose in a person's body causes galactosemia. This disease is an inherited genetic mutation called an autosomal recessive condition.f both parents are carriers, there is a 25% chance their child will have galactosemia. There are three different types of galactosemia. Each one is caused by a mutation in a different gene. Classic galactosemia is the most common form of this disorder, and the most severe.
