Perforin gene transfer into hematopoietic stem cells improves immune dysregulation in murine models of perforin deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Defects in perforin lead to the failure of T and NK cell cytotoxicity, hypercytokinemia, and the immune dysregulatory condition known as familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL).

Recognizing early MRI signs (or their absence) is crucial in diagnosing metachromatic leukodystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2022
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) has characteristic white matter (WM) changes on brain MRI, which often trigger biochemical and genetic confirmation of the diagnosis. In early or pre‐symptomatic disease stages, these typical MRI changes might be absent,

Inborn errors of metabolism: a clinical overview [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
CONTEXT: Inborn errors of metabolism cause hereditary metabolic diseases (HMD) and classically they result from the lack of activity of one or more specific enzymes or defects in the transportation of proteins.

Substrate reduction therapy for Krabbe disease and metachromatic leukodystrophy using a novel ceramide galactosyltransferase inhibitor

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Krabbe disease (KD) and metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) are caused by accumulation of the glycolipids galactosylceramide (GalCer) and sulfatide and their toxic metabolites psychosine and lysosulfatide, respectively.

Understanding caregiver descriptions of initial signs and symptoms to improve diagnosis of metachromatic leukodystrophy

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Background Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a relentlessly progressive and ultimately fatal condition, is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA).

inPHAP: Interactive visualization of genotype and phased haplotype data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Background: To understand individual genomes it is necessary to look at the variations that lead to changes in phenotype and possibly to disease. However, genotype information alone is often not sufficient and additional knowledge regarding the phase of ...

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Variants

open access: yesPediatric Neurology Briefs, 1993
Clinical, pathological, imaging, and genetic findings in a family with multiple allelic mutations of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) are reported from McGill University, Montreal, and McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada.

Multi-Voxel 1H-MRS in Metachromatic Leukodystrophy

open access: yesJournal of Central Nervous System Disease, 2013
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is characterized by the accumulation of sulfatide sphingolipids in the brain and peripheral nerves. We report metabolite alterations recorded using multi-voxel proton spectroscopy of the brain in four children with MLD.
