Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Arylsulfatase A Deficiency, MLD 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. 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.

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.

Help Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), the most common form of Leukodystrophy, is a rare inherited neurometabolic disorder affecting the white matter of the brain (Leukoencephalopathy). It is characterized by the accumulation of a fatty substance known as sulfatide (a sphingolipid) in the brain and other areas of the body (i.e., liver, gall bladder, kidneys, and/or spleen). The fatty protective covering on the nerve fibers (myelin) is lost from areas of the central nervous system (CNS) due to the buildup of sulfatide. Symptoms of Metachromatic Leukodystrophy may include convulsions, seizures, personality changes, spasticity, progressive dementia, motor disturbances progressing to paralysis, and/or visual impairment leading to blindness. Metachromatic Leukodystrophy is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. There are three types of the disease that have similar symptoms.

Bethany's Story What is MLD? Research Family Area ... Help Scientific Progress Report Bethanys Hope Foundation Development of Gene Transfer Vectors for Metachromatic Leukodystrophy The long-term goal of this research is to develop a method to efficiently transfer genes to treat Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD). Adeno associated virus (AAV) has been applied to different genetic diseases, such as Canavan and Niemann-Pick diseases which are characterized by degenerative neurological changes. Eventual application of this technology would culminate in the transfer of the arylsulfatase (ASA) gene to MLD patients to prevent the progressive decline in neurological function. rAAV-ASA vectors has been constructed using cytomegalovirus promoter which can drive gene expression both in neurons and oligodendrocytes. A producing cell line containing AAV2-Rep, AAV2-Cap and ASA genes has been established for consistent production of large-scale rAAV. The titer of physical particles of rAAV-ASA is 10 /ml measured by PCR amplification of serial dilution of stock virus DNA.

Other characters Metachromatic leukodystrophy, a progressive autosomal recessive white matter lysosomal disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulphatase A. The diagnosis is based on the finding of enzyme activity of arylsulphatase A in the urine and peripheral leukocytes. There are three principal forms: late infantile (presenting at the age 23 years), juvenile (presenting at 46 years), and the adult variant. The late infantile form is the most common. The child presents with difficulty in walking, marked by frequent falls within the second and third year of life. The disease progresses quickly with poor speech, mental deterioration, and hypertonia, which develops into decerebrate and decorticate posture within 36 months. Seizures are common. In the juvenile form, symptoms do not usually develop until 4 years. The clinical picture is similar to the late infantile form, except that the child is old enough to show behavioural disturbances as well. Pathologically, symmetrical demyelination with sparing of the U-fibres is found. Metachromatic sulphatides accumulate in the central and peripheral nervous system.

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Metachromatic leukodystrophy Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an inherited metabolic storage disease characterized by the absence of the enzyme arylsulfatase A and increased storage of sulfatide. Alternative Names: MLD; Arylsulfatase A deficiency Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. 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 the most severe form) is the late infant onset form, which has symptoms such as irritability decreased muscle tone muscle wasting , the loss of the ability to walk. Debility is progressive with blindness seizures , and partial paralysis . Death occurs usually before age 10. Both the juvenile and adult forms have later onset but similar symptoms. In the adult and juvenile forms, psychosis and emotional disturbances are an important part of the illness. The juvenile form is fatal within a few years of diagnosis. The adult form may be drawn out over many years.

It is a progressive disorder, transmitted by autosomal recessive inheritance. It is associated with the accumulation of sulfatides (ganglioside) in brain, kidney, liver and gall bladder. The metabolic abnormality lies in the absence or reduction of Arylsulfatase A function resulting in sulfatide accumulation and a demyelinating brain disorder. MLD manifests in a late infantile, juvenile and adult form. A progressive dementia is the primary manifestation of the disease. Peripheral neuropathy is a prominent disease manifestation in the late infantile and juvenile forms. Patients with the adult form of MLD may initially present with psychiatric disease or, more rarely, isolated peripheral neuropathy. Unlike X-ALD, MLD demonstrated a close genotype to phenotype correlation with only one form of the disease developing in a particular family. The disorder can be diagnosed by detecting sulfatide accumulation in urine. Arylsulfatase activity can be assayed in fibroblasts, but one must take care to distinguish between real and pseudodeficiency.

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (Sulfatidosis) NeuroLearn NeuroHelp Metabolic Lysosomal storage disorders, classification ... Gross Pathology BACKGROUND AND CLINICAL INFORMATION Head Summary: Sulfatidosis (metachromatic leukodystrophy) is a systemic disease that affects the CNS, PNS, and other organs. There are two common clinical subtypes and two rare clinical subtypes. Biochemically, it is characterized by abnormal catabolism of cerebroside sulfate resulted from deficiency of cerebrosulphatase and lead to accumulation ofcerebroside sulfate. The clinical test tests for arysulfatase A activity and pseudodeficiency can occur. Histologically characterized by demyelination and dysmyelination with accumulation of metachromatic inclusion bodies, presumably derivatives of cerebroside sulfate. Rare cases due to deficiency of saponin B, a co-factor necessary for cerebrosulphatase activity, can occur. Biochemistry: Cerebroside sulfate requires both cerebrosulphatase and saposin B, a co-factor, for its catabolism. The catabolism of sulfatide, a sphingolipid that is normal consistuent of myelin and cellular membranes, is defective in this disease. Metachromatic leukodystrophy is due to deficiency of cerebroside sulfatase. Sulfatide is stored in the lysosomes of oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells and also in many somatic tissues. No clinical manifestation is apparent when arylsulfatase is 10% or higher of normal level. Diagnostic test: In addition to the arylsulfatase, A deficiency, there is a loss of activity of arylsulfatases B and C, and other sulfatases involved in mucopolysaccharide degradation. Prenatal diagnosis can be made by enzymatic assay in aminocytes or chorionic villi. Pseudodeficiency may raise a difficult problem for prenatal diagnosis.
