Communicated by Robert I. Desnick Metachromatic leukodystmphy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of myelin metabolism, resulting from the inability to properly degrade 3-sulfogalactosylceramide (sulfatide). This metabolic block is often due to defective functioning of the lysosomal enzyme aryl
