Our foundation advocates for people with Galactosemia and their families. We connect families and support networking efforts between clinicians and researchers.
Get InvolvedThe Galactosemia Foundation is urging the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to incorporate the experiences and perspectives of people living with galactosemia in the agency’s review of govorestat (AT-007), the potential first-ever treatment for our rare genetic disease.
Babies are first diagnosed with galactosemia during the newborn screening process, which is done in all 50 states.
NewbornsAround this age, you may see early signs of developmental delays and speech problems.
Learn MoreBecause galactosemia can impact how a child learns, they may need more support in school. Developmental delays may become more noticeable as your child begins school.
Learn MoreThe teenage years aren’t particularly easy on anyone, but they can be especially tough for teens with galactosemia. While they are growing and working to find their place in the world, they may feel restricted by their galactosemia diagnosis, due to complications they experience and/or food restrictions.
Learn MoreBecause galactosemia impacts everyone differently, some young adults will complete college and/or obtain stable employment. Others may have a hard time living independently because of worsening or new long-term complications.
