Associated persons: Max Bielschowsky Joseph Godwin Greenfield Richard Henneberg J. E. Meyer ... Ludo Van Bogaert Description: Metachromatic leukodystrophy. A collective term for a possibly rather heterogeneous group of fatal diseases with dystrophy of the white matter of the brain. This error of metabolism occurs in several forms: congenital, late infantile, adolescent, and adult (with and without arylsulphatase A deficiency). It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme aryl sulfatase. A metachromatic material is deposited in the brain, peripheral nerves, liver, kidney, and frequently the urine. This material, sulfated lipids, would normally be degraded to cerebrosides. The course is characterised by paralysis, blindness, and severe mental retardation. While the Pelizaeus-Merzbacher form of leukoencephalopathy is transmitted as an X-linked, recessive trait, the metachromatic leukodystrophies are autosomal recessive. However, a family described by Scholz had a possible X-linked recessive leukodystrophy.

Adrenoleukodystrophy: A rapidly progressive X-linked genetic disorder characterized by the accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) that affects the white matter of the nervous system and the adrenal glands. Arylsulfatase A: The lack of this enzyme results in the toxic accumulation of sulfatide deposits in metachromatic leukodystrophy, leading to demyelination of the CNS. Astrocyte: See Glia. Asymptomatic: Having a disease without manifestation of symptoms. Axon: Myelin-ensheathed tail of the neuron that is responsible for carrying impulses away from the neuron cell body. Many interwoven axons make up a nerve. Biopsy: The removal and microscopic examination of a tissue sample taken from the living body to establish an exact diagnosis, check for signs of disease, or assess the results of a surgical or pharmacological intervention. Blood-brain barrier: A selectively permeable, protective barrier that limits the passage of substances in the bloodstream into brain tissue. It is believed to be formed by astrocytes and blood vessels.

The United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF), incorporated in 1982, is a nonprofit, voluntary health organization dedicated to providing patients and their families with information about their disease and assistance in identifying sources of medical care, social services, and genetic counseling; establishing a communication network among families; increasing public awareness and acting as an information source for health care providers; and promoting and supporting research into causes, treatments, and prevention of the leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies are a group of genetic nervous system disorders affecting the myelin sheath, which insulates the axon through which nerve impulses are conducted. The ULF is supported solely by donations.

Abstract

Isolated Peripheral Neuropathy in Atypical Metachromatic Leukodystrophy: A Recurrent Mutation Abstract: Background:
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a genetic neurodegenerative disorder resulting from a deficiency of arylsulfatase A. Late onset forms are relatively rare. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement is characteristic at all ages. Methods: A patient in her late 40s with peripheral neuropathy was assessed by EEG, evoked potentials, CT and nerve conduction studies. Nerve and muscle biopsy samples were investigated by electron microscopy. Arylsulfatase A activity in leukocytes and excreted cerebroside sulfate were determined. The arylsulfatase A gene was investigated for mutations using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing. The identified mutation was expressed transiently in African green monkey kidney (COS) cells to determine the effect of the mutation on arylsulfatase A activity. Results: Central nervous system functions were normal. Nerve conduction velocities were decreased. Sural nerve biopsy showed inclusions typical of MLD. Arylsulfatase A was less than 5% of normal. A homozygous mutation thr286pro was identified in the arylsulfatase A gene and demonstrated to be deleterious through transient expression studies.
