Krabbe disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) are two of such type. MLD is found on human chromosome 22 at position q13.31. [15] Another type of inherited leukodystrophy is X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). As its name implies, this type of leukodystrophy is the result of a mutation found on the X-chromosome. It is also carried in ...
Metachromatic leukodystrophy has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. MLD has an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The inheritance probabilities per birth are as follows: [8] If both parents are carriers: 25% (1 in 4) children will have the disease; 50% (2 in 4) children will be carriers, but unaffected
Krabbe disease (KD) (also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy [3] or galactosylceramide lipidosis) is a rare and often fatal lysosomal storage disease that results in progressive damage to the nervous system. KD involves dysfunctional metabolism of sphingolipids and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM disease) is an autosomal recessive neurological disease. The cause of the disease are mutations in any of the 5 genes encoding subunits of the translation initiation factor eIF2B: EIF2B1, EIF2B2, EIF2B3, EIF2B4, or EIF2B5. The disease belongs to a family of conditions called the Leukodystrophies.
Related disorders in the same disease spectrum as HDLS include Nasu-Hakola disease (polycystic lipomembranous osteodysplasia with sclerosing leukoencephalopathy), and a type of leukodystrophy with pigment-filled macrophages called pigmentary orthochromatic leukodystrophy (POLD). [3] In addition to white matter disease, Nasu-Hakola causes bone ...
Zachariah, born in 1976, had Canavan disease, a rare leukodystrophy syndrome that causes brain deterioration. There were years going to doctors and therapists, searching for answers.
Autosomal dominant leukodystrophy with autonomic disease is a rare neurological condition of genetic origin which is characterized by gradual demyelination of the central nervous system which results in various impairments, including ataxia, mild cognitive disability and autonomic dysfunction.
Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease is the common name for hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HLD). [6] There are at least 26 HLD variants cataloged by the National Institutes of Health National Library of Medicine [ 7 ] and the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes.
