    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.

Causes and Risks 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.

    Extractions: Genetics - MLD is caused by a genetic defect that results in the lack of a lysosomal enzyme, Arylsulfatase A. This enzyme normally breaks down substances called sulfatides. The missing enzyme causes sulfatides to increase in brain, peripheral nerves, liver, and kidney*. The accumulations are usually most obvious in the white matter of the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nerves. Sulfatides cause the breakdown of the

    Extractions: M = F PATHOGENESIS: Background arylsulfatase A is a lysosomal enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the 3-O-sulfate linkages of cerebroside sulfate (sulfatide) to form galactocerebroside deficiency of arylsulfatase A in MLD first reported by in 1963 by Austin a sphingolipid activator protein (SAP-1) is necessary for the in vivo hydrolysis of sulfatide in MLD, galactosyl sulfatide and to a smaller extent lactosyl sulfatide accumulate in the white matter of the CNS, in the peripheral nerves, and to a lesser extent in the kidneys, gallbladder, and other visceral organs accumulation of sulfatides in the myelin sheath results in the progressive breakdown of membranes of the myelin sheath Genetic Defect genetic defects -> deficiency of arylsulfatase A activity -> accumulation of sulfatide within lysosomes in the CNS white matter -> neurological manifestations
