General Conversation
Krabbe’s Leukodystrophy is an unusual acquired lipid storage space disorder caused by a shortage of the enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC), which is necessary for the break down (metabolic rate) of the sphingolipids galactosylceremide and psychosine. Failing to break down these sphingolipids results in degeneration of the myelin sheath bordering nerves in the human brain (demyelination). Unique oval cells show up in impacted locations of the human brain. This metabolic disorder is identified by dynamic neurological dysfunction such as mental deficiency, paralysis, loss of sight, deafness and paralysis of specific face muscles (pseudobulbar palsy). Krabbe’s Leukodystrophy is inherited as an autosomal recessive attribute.
