    Extractions: Leukodystrophy, Globoid Cell Medline NLM definition : An inherited metabolic disorder of the nervous system, particularly the white matter. It is characterized histologically by a paucity of myelin and oligodendroglia, severe astrocytic gliosis, and massive infiltration with unique multinucleated globoid cells which are enriched in galactosylceramide. The primary genetic defect is a deficiency of GALACTOSYLCERAMIDASE. Leukodystrophy, metachromatic Medline NLM definition : A sphingolipidosis where there is defective desulfation of galactosyl-3-sulfate ceramide due to a defective enzyme cerebroside sulfatase (arylsulfatase A). The result is an accumulation of sulfatide in neural and non-neural tissues which manifests as mental deterioration and severe disturbances of the central nervous system.

    Extractions: Other ways to give Injury Disease Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an inherited disease characterized by the absence of the enzyme arylsulfatase A, which causes a material called cerebroside sulfate to accumulate in cells. This is toxic to the cell, especially neurons (the cells of the nervous system) and causes the problems of the disease. MLD is a member of a class of diseases called lysosomal storage disorders. In these diseases, patients lack a protein needed to metabolize the food we eat. MLD; Arylsulfatase A deficiency Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait, which means that a person must inherit the defective gene from both parents to be affected. MLD has a wide range of symptoms. As with many other storage diseases, there are forms of early and delayed onset (late infant, juvenile, and adult types). The most common and most severe form is the late infant onset form, which has symptoms such as

Contact Us laboratories of neurogenetics autosomal dominant leukodystrophy Leukodystrophy refers to a group of genetic disorders that are characterized by the imperfect development or maintenance of the white matter (myelin sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain). Adult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD), is a slowly progressive, neurological disorder characterized by symmetrical widespread myelin loss in the CNS. The ADLD phenotype is similar to that of chronic progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). It is characterized by development of autonomic dysfunction e.g. (low blood pressure, incontinence, and blurred vision). In contrast to MS patients, ADLD sufferers experience earlier autonomic dysfunction. CT scans/MRIs of ADLD patients illustrate the widespread symmetrical demyelination that occurs, as opposed to the asymmetrical demyelination exhibited in MS. In addition, large families segregating a highly penetrant autosomal dominant MS allele have not been described. Our Research: Linkage analysis has already localized ADLD to chromosome 5q31 and we hope to isolate the ADLD gene through fine genetic mapping. ADLD represents a model for monogenic demyelination, and identification of the ADLD gene and its encoded protein could provide further insight into the molecular mechanisms of myelin assembly and maintenance. Therefore the study of this disorder could enhance our understanding of the pathogenesis of non-Mendelian demyelinating diseases such as MS and may provide novel therapeutic targets for development of new treatments.

We live just outside Buffalo, NY. We both work full time jobs, but different shifts so one of us is always home with CJ. We have never been away from CJ for more than a few hours because child care is nearly impossible to obtain. CJ is an unusual case; he is extremely old for an infantile case of Krabbes.

    Globoid Cell leukodystrophy GCL aka Krabbe s Disease by George Jones. Globoid Cell leukodystrophy is a degenerative disease of the white matter of the brain  
    http://www.barkbytes.com/medical/med0073.htm
    
    Extractions: 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. 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.

    Extractions: In infants and young children affected by Alexander Disease, associated symptoms and findings include a failure to grow and gain weight at the expected rate (failure to thrive); delays in the development of certain physical, mental, and behavioral skills that are typically acquired at particular stages (psychomotor retardation); and progressive enlargement of the head (macrocephaly). Additional features typically include sudden episodes of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain (seizures); abnormally increased muscle stiffness and restriction of movement (spasticity); and progressive neurological deterioration. In some cases, there is hydrocephalus. In most cases, Alexander Disease appears to occur randomly for unknown reasons (sporadically), with no family history of the disease. In an extremely small number of cases, it is thought that the disorder may have affected more than one family member.

    Extractions: bmt@umn.edu Home Diseases Inherited Metabolic Storage Diseases and BMT > Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) MLD can manifest itself at three distinct stages in life. Type I, Late Infantile, appears between six months to two years of age. The child will develop normally until the onset of the disease, at which point parents will first begin to notice low muscle town. She/he will be slow in learning to walk, or begin to stagger and fall frequently. Eventually, the child will lose any abilities she/he had once acquired, including: speaking, moving, and swallowing. Eventually the child will need to be tube fed, and death usually occurs three to five years after onset. Because MLD is genetic, it is difficult to cure. Current approaches to MLD include genetic counseling for parents who are carriers of the disease, and improvements in early detection of the disease in unborn children. For MLD patients, a variety of treatments have been tried. The goal of treatment is to get the missing enzyme into the body. Unfortunately, directly injecting ASA into the bloodstream has proven unsuccessful, since the enzyme cannot make it from there to the brain. Injecting ASA directly into the brain has not worked either, because not enough of the enzyme is absorbed.
