Krabbe, 1885–1961, Danish neurologist), (also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy), lysosomal disorder of myelin metabolism ( lysosomal diseases ), with autosomal recessive inheritance, characterized by a deficiency of galactosylceramidase, also called galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase. Galactocerebroside accumulates in the brain and peripheral nerves. Clinically three different phases are recognized: spasticity and irritability by six months of age; followed by rapid deterioration of motor function, chronic opisthotonus and myoclonic jerking, hyperpyrexia and hypersalivation; and finally decerebration followed by death, which is usually within the first year of life. The abnormalities found on CT and MR are related to the stage of the disease ( Fig.1

About Us Our Mission ... Links 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.

    Extractions: related terms: Krabbe's disease, galactocerebrosidosis What is globoid cell leukodystrophy? This is a storage disease, one of a relatively rare group of disorders in which there is a deficiency of a particular enzyme necessary for normal metabolic processes within the body. The result is an accumulation in cells ("storage") of whatever product the enzyme normally acts upon. Typically, animals with a storage disease are normal at birth, fail to grow as rapidly as littermates, and at a consistent age, develop progressive signs of a disorder of the nervous system which will ultimately be fatal. In globoid cell leukodystrophy (GCL), the lack of the enzyme ß-galactocerebrosidase results in an accumulation of galactocerebroside, a component of myelin. This disrupts the cells that normally produce myelin, a fatty substance that coats nerve cells, serves as an electrical insulator and is crucial to the normal conduction of nerve impulses. The progressive loss of myelin in the white matter tracts of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and/or peripheral nerves) causes a variety of clinical signs such as lack of coordination, tremors, and weakness. Krabbe's disease is a similar condition in people.

    http://www.westieclubamerica.com/health/gcl.html
    
    Extractions: Description: Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (synonym: Krabbe's disease) is a degenerative disease of the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. Segmental degeneration of some peripheral nerves may also occur. It is the result of a genetic deficiency of an enzyme (galactocerebroside b-galactosidase) that is involved in the breakdown of certain lipids (fats) in the brain and spinal cord. Clinical signs begin early in life and progress rapidly. Lack of coordination, weakness, stumbling, loss of control of the hindquarters, and tail tremors may be observed. Then the dog will develop a wide stance, incoordination, and posterior or total limb paralysis. The dog may become blind or fail to recognize familiar individuals. The response to painful stimuli is generally unaffected. Age of Onset: The disease may occur as early as 4 weeks of age and nearly always before 5 - 6 months of age. Diagnosis: The typical clinical signs along with characteristic histopathologic findings at autopsy in appropriate breeds are diagnostic. In addition, antemortem (before death) diagnosis can be made by measuring the mean galactocerebroside b-galactosidase enzyme activity in white blood cells. Furthermore, heterozygotes can be identified, since affected dogs have about 18% and carriers about 51% of the mean activity found in the cells of normal dogs. Treatment: There is no treatment, and the disease is invariably fatal.

    http://www.medfriendly.com/metachromaticleukodystrophy.html
    
    Extractions: Metachromatic leukodystrophy WHAT IS IT? Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a disorder in which myelin (a fatty nerve covering that sends impulses quickly) is lost because chromosome 22 (one of 46 structures that transmits genetic information) is missing a part (an enzyme called arylsulfatase) that changes a major component of myelin. Myelin is widely destroyed in the cerebrum, (the top section of the brain), cerebellum (a part in the back lower area of the brain important for movement), spine, and the peripheral nerves (nerves outside of the brain and spine). In addition to myelin loss, this condition causes a buildup of metachromatic lipids (fatty substances that changed colors) in the white matter (white looking substance) of the central and peripheral nervous systems. The technical name for the type of metachromatic lipids that build up in this condition is called galactosyl sulfatidates. Metachromatic leukodystrophy is a metabolic disorder. A metabolic disorder is one in which the ability to regulate certain bodily functions related to the distribution of nutrients throughout the body is impaired.
