galactokinase deficiency
Galactokinase deficiency is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the body's inability to properly metabolize the sugar galactose. This leads to the accumulation of galactose in the body, which can cause various symptoms such as cataracts, liver and kidney problems, and developmental delays if left untreated.
