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.
The patient with clinical variant galactosemia also carries deleterious mutations in both copies of their GALT gene, but one or both mutations leave a small amount of residual GALT activity. In the vast majority of cases, the GALT mutations in classic and clinical variant galactosemia are inherited so that both parents of an affected child are carriers. Rare exceptions occur. Patients with classic galactosemia are sometimes described as having the genetic makeup G/G..
