                                Galactokinase deficiency, a form of galactosemia, is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that affects fewer than 1 in 100,000 newborns. Due to a missing or defective enzyme, the body cannot properly break down the sugar galactose, necessitating strict dietary restrictions to prevent serious complications.
