In other populations the incidence rate differs. Galactosemia is about one hundred times more common (1:480 births) [4] in the Irish Traveller population ...
In classic galactosemia, galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase activity is reduced or absent; leading to an accumulation of the precursors, galactose, galactitol, and Gal-1-P. [3] The elevation of precursors can be used to differentiate GALT deficiency from galactokinase deficiency, as Gal-1-P is typically not elevated in galactokinase ...

In breastfeeding women, low milk supply, also known as lactation insufficiency, insufficient milk syndrome, agalactia, agalactorrhea, hypogalactia or hypogalactorrhea, is the production of breast milk in daily volumes that do not fully meet the nutritional needs of her infant.
