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.

    Extractions: Back Back to main Health Information page Definition: 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. Alternative Names: MLD; Arylsulfatase A deficiency Causes And Risk: 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

    Extractions: Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) is a genetic disease where the lysosomes of the cell don't store materials correctly, resulting in an abnormal accumulation of lipids , which causes progressive deterioration of motor control and neurological functioning. To further classify MLD, it is both autosomal and recessive Cause and Effect The cause of MLD is well known: The gene that tells the body how to make an important enzyme, arylsulphatase A (ASA), is defective in some manner. ASA is the enzyme that is responsible for the breakdown of sulphatides . ASA is normally stored in the lysosome inside the cell, which is why MLD is a lysosomal disease. The process by which ASA breaks down sulphatides is called hydrolysis . During hydrolysis, cerebroside sulphatide is normally transformed to form a chemical known as galactocerebroside (GalC)
