Brit.

/ɡəˌlaktəˈsiːmɪə/, U.S.

/ɡəˌlæktəˈsimiə/

Forms: 1900s– galactosaemia, 1900s– galactosemia.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: galactose n., -aemia suffix.

Etymology: < galactose n. + -aemia suffix. Compare German Galactosämie (1930 or earlier; now usually Galaktosämie).

Medicine.

The presence of galactose in the blood; an instance of this; an inherited (autosomal recessive) disorder characterized by this, caused by deficiency of an enzyme involved in galactose metabolism and resulting in cataracts, hepatomegaly, and mental retardation.
