Prevention Alternative names MLD; Arylsulfatase A deficiency Definition Return to top 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. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top 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).

Leukodystrophy What is 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). The myelin sheath is an extremely complex fatty substance made of many components. Each of the leukodystrophies affects one of these components. The most common signs seen in most leukodystrophies include gradual changes in an infant or child who previously appeared well. Changes may appear in body tone, movements, gait, speech, ability to eat, vision, hearing, behavior, memory, or thought processes. The symptoms, which vary according to the specific type of leukodystrophy, may be difficult to recognize in the early stages of the disease.

thank you for helping to make the life of a disabled child a little bit better! jump to turtles! HOME WELCOME ABOUT US ... HOW YOU CAN HELP What is Leukodystrophy? WHAT IS LEUKODYSTROPHY? Leukodystrophy is the name given to a group of inherited, progressive genetic disorders. The name comes from the Greek 'leuko', meaning "white" and 'dystrophy' meaning "imperfect growth or development". The nerves in the human body are composed of two parts; the innermost section is called the axon, and is directly responsible for conveying nerve impulses from the brain. Surrounding the axon, rather like insulation around an electrical cord, is the myelin sheath, or 'white matter'. The sheath is made up of a variety of chemicals, and its protective covering is vital to the health and function of the nerve axon within. In Leukodystrophy, a mutation in one of the patient's genes affects the development of one of the multiple chemicals (there are at least 10) that make up the myelin sheath, preventing or inhibiting its development. Without this natural protection the nerve axons are unable to function correctly. Each form of Leukodystrophy affects a different element of the myelin sheath, causing a range of symptoms and affecting different parts of the nervous system, such as the spinal cord and the brain.

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.
