Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Organizations What is Metachromatic Leukodystrophy? Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies. These diseases impair the growth or development of the myelin sheath, the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers. Myelin, which lends its color to the white matter of the brain, is a complex substance made up of at least 10 different enzymes. The leukodystrophies are caused by genetic defects in how myelin produces or metabolizes these enzymes. Each of the leukodystrophies is the result of a defect in the gene that controls one (and only one) of the enzymes. MLD is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme

It is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that affect growth of the myelin sheath, the fatty coveringwhich acts as an insulatoron nerve fibers in the brain. There are three forms of MLD: late infantile, juvenile, and adult. In the late infantile form, which is the most common, onset of symptoms begins between ages 6 months and 2 years. The infant is usually normal at birth, but eventually loses previously gained abilities. Symptoms include hypotonia (low muscle tone), speech abnormalities, loss of mental abilities, blindness, rigidity (uncontrolled muscle tightness), convulsions, impaired swallowing, paralysis, and dementia. Symptoms of the juvenile form begin between ages 4 and 14, and include impaired school performance, mental deterioration, ataxia, seizures, and dementia.

Introduction Patterns of Inheritance Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)/Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome ... Zellweger Syndrome INTRODUCTION The leukodystrophies are genetically determined progressive disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The term leukodystrophy derives from the Greek words "leuko" meaning white and referring to the white matter of the nervous system and "dystrophy" meaning imperfect growth or development. White matter is white to the naked eye because it contains a complex chemical substance called the myelin sheath. Myelin contains a variety of fatty substances or lipids. Its function is to insulate the axon through which nerve impulses are conducted, much as does insulation around an electric wire; the axon being the biological equivalent of the wire. The myelin sheath is a very complex substance. It is made up of at least ten, and probably more distinct chemicals. Each of the leukodystrophies affects one (and only one) of these substances that all affect the myelin sheath in some way, but otherwise, they are totally separate. Leukodystrophy of one type, does not in any way predispose to, or increase the risk of another type of leukodystrophy.
