Coming soonInfantile metachromatic leukodystrophy is a rare, severe, autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A, leading to toxic accumulation of sulfatides in the central and peripheral nervous systems.
Manifesting typically in infants and toddlers between 1 and 2 years of age, the condition damages myelin sheaths and causes widespread, progressive white matter degeneration.
Clinically, affected children experience rapid neurodevelopmental regression marked by motor deterioration, gait loss, hypotonia progressing to severe spasticity, peripheral neuropathy, cognitive decline, seizures, and loss of vision and speech.
