[4] Canavan disease then progresses rapidly from that stage, with typical cases involving intellectual disability, loss of previously acquired motor skills, feeding difficulties, abnormal muscle tone (i.e., initial floppiness ...
The first case of spongy degeneration of the CNS was reported in 1928 by Globus and Strauss, [42] who designated the case as Schilder's disease, a term for diffuse myelinoclastic sclerosis. [43] [44] [45] In 1931, Canavan reported a case where the megalencephaly of brain degeneration is different from that caused by a tumour. [46]
Canavan disease is a less-studied type of leukodystrophy that, like MLD and Krabbe disease, is also inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. It is due to a mutation in the ASPA gene that encodes aspartoacylase , an enzyme needed to metabolize N-acetyl-L-aspartate (NAA).
The Visible Human Project is an effort to create a detailed data set of cross-sectional photographs of the human body, in order to facilitate anatomy visualization applications. It is used as a tool for the progression of medical findings, in which these findings link anatomy to its audiences. [ 1 ]
Aminoacylase 2 deficiency - also known as Canavan's disease - is another rare disease caused by a mutation in the ASPA gene (on chromosome 17) that leads to a deficiency in the enzyme aminoacylase 2. Aminoacylase 2 is known for the fact that it can hydrolyze N-acetylaspartate while aminoacylase 1 cannot. [17]

In infantile Krabbe disease, death usually occurs in early childhood. A 2011 study found one-, two-, and three-year survival rates of 60%, 26%, and 14%, respectively, with a few surviving longer. Patients with late-onset Krabbe disease tend to have a slower disease progression and live significantly longer. [2]
