Specific types of leukodystrophy include the following with their respective ICD-10 codes when available: [citation needed] (E75.2) Alexander disease (E75.2) Canavan disease (E75.2) Hypomyelinating leukodystrophy type 7 (4H syndrome) (E75.2) Krabbe disease (E75.2) Metachromatic leukodystrophy (E75.2) Pelizaeus–Merzbacher disease
The incidence of metachromatic leukodystrophy is estimated to occur in 1 in 40,000 to 1 in 160,000 individuals worldwide. [13] There is a much higher incidence in certain genetically isolated populations, such as 1 in 75 in Habbanites (a small group of Jews who immigrated to Israel from southern Arabia), 1 in 2,500 in the western portion of the ...
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 neuroaxonal spheroids (LENAS), also known as adult-onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids (HDLS) and pigmentary orthochromatic leukodystrophy (POLD) [1] is an extremely rare kind of leukoencephalopathy and is classified as a neurodegenerative disease.
Childhood ataxia with central nervous system hypomyelinization, Vanishing white matter leukodystrophy, Cree leukoencephalopathy, Vanishing white matter leukodystrophy with ovarian failure, included, Myelinopathia centralis diffusa: This condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner
Peroxisomal disorders represent a class of medical conditions caused by defects in peroxisome functions. [1] This may be due to defects in single enzymes [2] important for peroxisome function or in peroxins, proteins encoded by PEX genes that are critical for normal peroxisome assembly and biogenesis.

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 ...
