Excerpt

Galactokinase deficiency, aka galactosemia type II, is an inborn error of galactose metabolism. Galactokinase deficiency is rare and more insidious than other galactosemia types since it results in the formation of nuclear cataracts without provoking intolerance symptoms or other systemic symptoms.
