Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy

, 1970
A profound deficiency of arylsulfatase A activity (ARA) is detectable in skin fibroblasts developed from patients with infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy (about 3 to 4 per cent of normal). Fibroblasts were cultivated from skin biopsies of parents and

Defining and Measuring Developmental Regression During Childhood: A Scoping Review

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developmental regression during childhood is inconsistently defined and measured, resulting in delayed diagnostic discovery and intervention. This study aimed to examine published definitions and measures for developmental regression. A comprehensive search strategy was applied to Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and PsycINFO databases.

The Leukodystrophy Spectrum in Saudi Arabia: Epidemiological, Clinical, Radiological, and Genetic Data

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: Leukodystrophies (LDs) are inherited heterogeneous conditions that affect the central nervous system with or without peripheral nerve involvement. They are individually rare, but collectively, they are common.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Specific downregulation and mistargeting of the lipid raft-associated protein MAL in a glycolipid storage disorder

Neurobiology of Disease, 2004
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a lysosomal lipid storage disease caused by arylsulfatase A deficiency. In MLD patients the sphingolipid sulfatide increasingly accumulates leading to progressive demyelination.

Prime editing in neuropsychiatric disorders: From mutation‐specific target selection to clinical translation

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

Prospective Study of Targeted Busulfan–Fludarabine Conditioning for Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation in Genetic Rare Diseases

European Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Genetic rare diseases (GRDs), including chronic granulomatous disease, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and congenital neutropenia, often require hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as the only curative option.

Inpatient Deaths in Pediatric Leukodystrophies

Annals of the Child Neurology Society, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 207-218, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Leukodystrophies are neurogenetic diseases affecting the white matter of the central nervous system. The contributing factors for leukodystrophy mortality are incompletely understood. Our objectives were to characterize inpatient deaths of pediatric leukodystrophies, including demographics and risk factors.

Case Report: Novel Arylsulfatase A (ARSA) Gene Mutations in a Patient With Adult-Onset Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by the accumulation of sulfatide in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Herein, we present the case of an adult patient with MLD who had mild cognitive
