Extractions: metachromatic leukodystrophy Metachromatic leukodystrophy is an autosomal recessive disorder of sphingolipid metabolism caused by a deficiency of aryl-sulfatase A. The result is an accumulation of lipids such as galactosyl sulfatide. The disorder may be diagnosed prenatally by amniocentesis and assay of the aryl-sulfatase A activity.

Each of the leukodystrophies will affect one of the chemicals that make up the myelin sheath or white matter of the brain, causing the various types of leukodystrophy.

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
