MedlinePlus: Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. it is also one of the most important. the liver has many jobs, including changing food into energy and cleaning alcohol and poisons from the blood. your liver also makes bile, a yellowish-green liquid that helps with digestion. there are many kinds of liver diseases. viruses cause some of them, like hepatitis a, hepatitis b and hepatitis c. others can be the result of drugs, poisons or drinking too much alcohol. if the liver forms scar tissue because of an illness, it's called cirrhosis. jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, can be one sign of liver disease. cancer can affect the liver. you could also inherit a liver disease such as hemochromatosis.23

MalaCards: Galactosemia, also known as galt deficiency, is related to fatty liver disease and galactose epimerase deficiency. An important gene associated with Galactosemia is GALT (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase), and among its related pathways are Galactose catabolism and Galactose metabolism. The drugs mct and alglucerase and the compounds uridine diphosphate and xylose have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, liver and skin, and related mouse phenotypes are renal/urinary system and behavior/neurological.

Disease Ontology: A carbohydrate metabolic disorder that involves a defect in galactose metabolism resulting in toxic levels of galactose 1-phosphate in various tissues.6

NIH Rare Diseases: Galactokinase deficiency, or galactosemia type 2, is a type of galactosemia that affects how the body processes a simple sugar called galactose.  A small amount of galactose is present in many foods. It is primarily part of a larger sugar called lactose, which is found in all dairy products and many baby formulas. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia result from an inability to use galactose to produce energy. Galactokinase deficiency causes fewer medical problems than the classic type. Affected infants usually develop cataracts, but otherwise experience few long-term complications. This condition is caused by mutations in the GALK1 gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion.30

Genetics Home Reference: Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes a simple sugar called galactose. A small amount of galactose is present in many foods. It is primarily part of a larger sugar called lactose, which is found in all dairy products and many baby formulas. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia result from an inability to use galactose to produce energy.17
