Introduction Patterns of Inheritance Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)/Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome ... Zellweger Syndrome INTRODUCTION The leukodystrophies are genetically determined progressive disorders that affect the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. The term leukodystrophy derives from the Greek words "leuko" meaning white and referring to the white matter of the nervous system and "dystrophy" meaning imperfect growth or development. White matter is white to the naked eye because it contains a complex chemical substance called the myelin sheath. Myelin contains a variety of fatty substances or lipids. Its function is to insulate the axon through which nerve impulses are conducted, much as does insulation around an electric wire; the axon being the biological equivalent of the wire. The myelin sheath is a very complex substance. It is made up of at least ten, and probably more distinct chemicals. Each of the leukodystrophies affects one (and only one) of these substances that all affect the myelin sheath in some way, but otherwise, they are totally separate. Leukodystrophy of one type, does not in any way predispose to, or increase the risk of another type of leukodystrophy.
