<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat is the mode of inheritance for galactokinase deficiency?  <response>: <reason> Galactokinase deficiency is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene one from each parent to be affected by the condition. With autosomal recessive inheritance, there is a 25 chance that the child of two carriers will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and develop the condition. Galactokinase deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the bodys ability to process galactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. This can lead to cataracts in the eyes, liver damage, and other symptoms if left untreated.
