Galactosemia is a rare, potentially life-threatening, genetic disorder in which patients are unable to break down the sugar galactose (2,3). This video provides an overview of Galactosemia, including sources of galactose, the metabolic pathways involved, and the role of toxic galactitol in patients with Classic Galactosemia.
