Galactosaemia is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase, resulting in the accumulation of toxic metabolites of galactose. Dietary management aims to exclude galactose, replacing breast and cows’ milk sources (containing lactose) with a galactose and lactose free alternative.
