Galactosemia is a rare hereditary disease that can lead to cirrhosis in infants, and early, devastating illness if not diagnosed quickly. This disease is caused by elevated levels of galactose(a sugar in milk) in the blood resulting from a deficiency of the liver enzyme required for its metabolism(breakdown). 2, record 1, English, - galactosemia

Amyloidosis is not one clinical entity but a group of diverse structurally driven protein deposition diseases. They are similar in that protein deposition occurs extracellularly and these deposits stain eosinophilic using standard tissue histologic stains, bind Congo red dye, and emit an apple-green birefringence using polarized light microscopy; exhibit metachromasia with crystal violet; and have an array of 75-to 100-Å nonbranching fibrils by electron microscopy and a twisted b-pleated sheet antiparallel configuration by x-ray crystallography. They differ, however, in the biochemical nature of the proteinaceous deposits, the "etiology" of the associated diseases(neoplastic, inflammatory, degenerative, hereditary), the tropism of protein deposition, and the spectrum of disease manifestations. 1, record 11, English, - amyloidosis

Genu valgum is the Latin-derived term used to describe knock-knee deformity. While many otherwise healthy children have knock-knee deformity as a passing trait, some individuals retain or develop this deformity due to hereditary or genetic disorders or metabolic bone disease. The typical gait pattern is circumduction, requiring that the individual swing each leg outward while walking in order to take a step without striking the planted limb with the moving limb. Not only are the mechanics of gait compromised but also, with significant angular deformity, anterior and medial knee pain are common. 2, record 12, English, - genu%20valgum

[Hereditary hemochromatosis(HH) ] is an autosomal recessive disease meaning a person has to get a copy of the gene(double mutation) from each parent. At present there are two different gene mutations(C282Y and H63D) that are associated with the disease... Usually the parents are carriers, meaning they do not have the disease. It is estimated that about 1 out of 200 people in the US has a double mutation and that about 3-5 per 1000 people have HH. 2, record 15, English, - amphimutation
