      DEFINITION Classic galactosemia is an inherited disease. Due to a defective gene, there is a deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, which is necessary for the conversion of galactose to glucose. Galactose is a simple sugar found in milk products. (The main sugar in milk, lactose, is made up of two simple sugars: galactose and glucose.) Glucose is the usable form of sugar in the human body.
