The Galt gene has to do with conversion of galactose into glucose in the body. If your boyfriend has galactosemia due to this gene then he may not even be able to have children. This is a very serious disorder that can be inherited so I would consult with doctors before even thinking about conceiving a child.

It's "galt" gene and understanding it is beyond me. There are a number of problems that can develop and you'll need geneticists to give you guidance.
