Objectives To determine the long-term outcome of dietary intervention in siblings from 14 Irish families with classical galactosemia (McKusick 230400), an autosomal recessive disorder of carbohydrate metabolism and galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) deficiency. Study design Outcomes in siblings on dietary galactose restriction were studied to evaluate whether birth order (ie, time of commencement of diet) and compliance with lactose-restricted diet (galactose intake > or < 20 mg/day), assessed by dietary recall and biochemical monitoring of galactose-1-phosphate [Gal-1-P] and galactitol values, affected outcomes. The outcome variables assessed were IQ, speech, and language assessment scores, neurologic examination results, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain. Results There was a high incidence of complications in the overall group, particularly speech and language delay (77%) and low IQ (71%). There was no significant difference in outcome between earlier-treated and later-treated siblings or an correlation with mean Gal-1-P or galactitol values. In most cases, cerebral white matter disease was evident on MRI scanning. with evidence of progressive cerebellar degeneration seen in 2 highly compliant families. Conclusion The subjects with a higher galactose intake did not exhibit an increased incidence of complications; conversely, those who were very compliant with dietary restrictions did not have more favorable outcomes.
