Because GLD is genetic, it is difficult to cure. Current approaches to GLD include genetic counseling for parents who are carriers of the disease, and improvements in early detection of the disease in unborn children.  For GLD patients, a variety of treatments have been tried. The goal of treatment is to get the missing GALC enzyme into the body. Unfortunately directly injecting it into the bloodstream has proven unsuccessful, since the enzyme cannot make it from there to the brain.  Injecting it directly into the brain has now worked either, because not enough of the enzyme is absorbed.

Health Encyclopedia Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Krabbe disease Definition: Krabbe disease is an inherited disorder characterized by a deficiency of the enzyme galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase (galactosylcereamidase). It results in destruction of myelin , a fatty material that surrounds and insulates many of the nerves. Alternative Names: Globoid cell leukodystrophy; Galactosylcerebrosidase deficiency; Galactosylcereamidase deficiency Causes And Risk: Krabbe disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is most common among people of Scandinavian descent, but it generally affects about 1 in 150,000 infants. Absence of the enzyme galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase causes increasing destruction of myelin. This results in progressive destruction of the nervous system. Krabbe disease has an early onset form and a late onset form. In the early form, symptoms begin in the first months of life with feeding problems and failure to thrive , unexplained fevers, and vomiting.

Associated persons: Knud Haraldsen Krabbe Description: An inborn neurodegenerative disorder of infancy due to the accumulation of galactocerebroside in the tissues. This is a result of a primary deficiency of galactocerebrosidase, the white matter of the brain, causing demyelination in the presence of inclusion bodies in the Schwann cells. The acute infantile form (90 percent of cases) is characterized by onset of symptoms before the age of 6 months and death by the end of first year of life, survival beyond 2 years being very rare. Clinically the child fails to thrive and develops seizures, deafness, blindness, cachexia, paralysis, and marked mental deficiency. The disease is assumed to be of genetical nature, but both dominant and recessive types have been described. There is also a rare juvenile and an adult form.

Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (Krabbe's Disease) NeuroLearn NeuroHelp Metabolic Lysosomal storage disorders, classification ... Gross Pathology BACKGROUND AND CLINICAL INFORMATION Head Summary: Globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe’s disease, galactosylceramide lipidosis) is an autosomal recessive due to reduced lysosomal galactocerebroside b -galactosidase. The structural gene is on chromosome 14q24-q32. Both peripheral and central nervous systems are involved. Infantile onset is most common but later or adult onset cases have also been described. Clinically features vary with the age of onset. The infantile form is associated with death at 1-2 years of age. Pathologically , the brain is markedly atrophic and shows extensive demyelination associated with large, multinucleated cells (globoid cells). The white matter but not grey matter is predominantly affected. Crystalline needle-like inclusions that correspond to the globoid material are seen under electron microscope. Biochemistry: Mutation of the galactocerebrosidase gene result in reduced enzymatic activity and decreased ability to degrade galactocerebroside that is found almost exclusively in myelin.

Failure to break down these sphingolipids results in degeneration of the myelin sheath surrounding nerves in the brain (demyelination). Characteristic globoid cells appear in affected areas of the brain. This metabolic disorder is characterized by progressive neurological dysfunction such as mental retardation, paralysis, blindness, deafness and paralysis of certain facial muscles (pseudobulbar palsy). Krabbe’s Leukodystrophy is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy GCL a.k.a. Krabbe's Disease by George Jones Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy is a degenerative disease of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, and also tied in with this is the loss of myelin , which is a fatty substance that forms the outer sheath around many nerve cells. What causes this loss is a genetic deficiency of an enzyme that is involved in breaking down certain lipids (fats) in the brain and spinal cord. GCL has been seen in puppies as young as four weeks of age, and as late as five months. The disease progresses very rapidly, resulting in death usually within two to three months after the onset of the clinical signs of the disease. There is currently no treatment for GCL. The clinical signs for GCL are: loss of coordination, failure to recognize familiar individuals (people or other pets), stumbling, blindness, weakness, tail tremors, total limb paralysis, and lack of response to pain. GCL has been found primarily in the bloodlines of West Highland White Terriers and Cairn Terriers, although it has been detected among other breeds as well. It is imperative that breeding stock be checked for this condition due to its being autosomal recessive (genetically passed on from one generation to another). In order for any autosomal recessive characteristic to appear in an offspring, both parents must either be carriers, or have the recessive characteristic. A blood test can determine the carrier (s) of this disease.

99. Jackson White His son Hunter was diagnosed with krabbe s disease in 1997. Hunter s HopeFoundation s main focus in recent years is the issue of universal newborn http://www.jacksonwhite.com/medical.htm

krabbe information On September 10th 2004, Jackson was diagnosed with Krabbe Leukodystrophy (pronounced "cra-BAY") or Krabbe's Disease. This is a rare, genetic disease that affects the myelin coating of the nervous system. Children with Krabbe are unable to produce an enzyme, GALC, which causes the myelin coating of their nerves to break down. Untreated, children with Krabbe Leukodystrophy progressively lose their motor skills, then their cognitive skills. They eventually enter a vegetative state and die within a few years after diagnosis. Jackson has a rare, slow-progressing form of Krabbe Disease. Because of this, he was found to be a candidate for a stem cell transplant to halt the progression of the disease. Jackson received his stem cell transplant at Duke University Medical Center, the top pediatric stem cell transplant center in the world. The source of his new cells was a unit of umbilical cord blood from a healthy baby. Stem cells get their name from their ability to develop into three types of blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. In a stem cell transplant, the stem cells from the cord blood grow inside bone marrow, creating a factory for new cells that will provide the critical enzyme that is lacking in Krabbe children. Though used like a bone marrow transplant as a source of stem cells, cord blood doesn't need to be as closely matched to the patient's tissue type, and it is available quickly, frozen and stored in blood banks. Cord blood units are collected from consenting mothers after delivery of their healthy, full-term baby and poses no risk to either mother or child. Donated umbilical cord blood is not tied up in the controversy surrounding stem cell research.
