Question
How many babies have galactosemia?
Answer
Galactosemia is a common chromosomal recessive genetic disease, and its incidence rate in the population is relatively low. However, since it is recessively inherited, if both parents carry the defective gene, their baby may be at risk of developing this condition. If your baby is diagnosed with galactosemia, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly and follow professional advice for treatment and management.
