Information of Galactitol:
Galactitol (dulcitol) is a sugar alcohol, the reduction product of galactose.[1] In people with galactokinase deficiency, a form ofgalactosemia, excess dulcitol forms in the lens of the eye leading to cataracts.[2]

Galactitol is produced from galactose in a reaction catalyzed by aldose reductase. Galactose itself comes from the metabolism of the disaccharide lactose into glucose and galactose.

The other common galactose metabolism defect is a defect in galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase, an autosomal recessive disorder, which also causes a buildup of galactitol as a result of increased concentrations of galactose-1-phosphate and galactose. The toxicity associated with galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase deficiency is associated with symptoms ofhepatosplenomegaly and mental retardation in addition to the cataracts caused by galactitol buildup.
