In the present study the clinical course and imaging of early and late-onset forms of Krabbe disease are analyzed. We report on 11 patients with a biochemical diagnosis of galactosyl ceramide P-galactoside deficiency. T w o presented as the classic infantile form and died within the second year of l
Globoid cell leukodystrophy is an autosomal recessive inherited disease caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase (GALC). Although the severe, rapidly progressing infantile form is the most common, late-onset forms have been described. We investigated the molecular basis of G
Galactocerebrosidase (GALC) is a lysosomal b-galactosidase responsible for the hydrolysis of the galactosyl moiety from several galactolipids, including galactosylceramide and psychosine. The deficiency of this enzyme results in the autosomal recessive disorder called Krabbe disease. It is also call
The twitcher mouse is a murine model of human globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD; Krabbe disease) caused by a genetic defect in the activity of galactosylceramidase (GALC). An accumulation of cytotoxic metabolite, galactosylsphingosine (psychosine), in myelin forming cells (oligodendrocytes and Schwan
