Ultrastructurally, metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is marked by characteristic features such as herringbone, prismatic and tufaceous patterns which are typically encountered within oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system (CNS) and in Schwann cells (PNS). These patterns can be documented in late infantile, juvenile, and adult forms. In the latter, aging of the ailing individual adds another component, the accumulation of lipopigments which are marked by an opaque supposedly lipid droplet and a granular component. While MLD-specific lysosomal residual bodies occur in myelinforming cells, lipopigments accrue in neurons and to a lesser degree in astrocytes. MLD represents a unique example in which these two separate lysosomal storage processes combine to form a wide spectrum of ultrastructurally divergent MLD-lipopigments affecting several cell type in the CNS and PNS. Lipopigments and MLD-specific lysosomal inclusions also assemble in

Health Encyclopedia 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

It gets progressively worse over time. MLD is usually caused by the lack of an important enzyme called arylsulfatase A. Because this enzyme is missing, chemicals called sulfatides accumulate in the nervous system, kidneys, gallbladder, and other organs. The sulfatides damage the nerves and organs where buildup occurs. In particular, it damages the myelin sheaths that surround nerve cells. There are three forms, based on when the symptoms begin: Late infantile symptoms usually begin by age 4. The symptoms include problems walking, loss of muscle control, and loss of mental functions. Juvenile symptoms begin between 4 and 6 years old. The child has trouble walking and loses developmental milestones. The first sign may be deteriorating school performance. Adult the late juvenile (age 6-16 age) and adult (over age 16) forms progress slowly. Early signs may be behavior problems, loss of mental functions, poor school or work performance, seizures, and loss of muscle control.

    Extractions: Microscopically there is loss of myelin and collections of cerebroside sulfatides inside and outside of macrophages. The sulfatides stain with PAS and metachromatically brown with acid cresyl violet. Metachromasia means staining a different color than expected - that is, acid cresyl violet usually stains cells violet but in this case it stains them brown. Proliferation of reactive astrocytes is also seen.

The disease Metachromatic Leukodystrophy is a severe neurological disorder affecting the Central and the peripherical nervous system. In its more severe form the disease leads to infirmity and, soon after the beginning of the symptoms, to death. The disorder is due to a defect in the gene coding for the Arilsulfatase A enzyme, which avoid the excessive storage of sphyngolipids (noxious fats) in the neurons.
