The term "genetics of galactose" refers to the study of the genetic factors and variations associated with the metabolism of galactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. It focuses on understanding how specific genes and their variations can affect the body's ability to break down and utilize galactose, potentially leading to genetic disorders such as galactosemia.
