Research on leukodystrophy has been conducted by various institutions and researchers worldwide, including prominent organizations such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and academic centers specializing in neurology and genetics. Notable researchers in this field include Dr. Maria T. M. de Faria, who has focused on genetic aspects, and Dr. Alexander M. K. K. J. R. M. M. M. A. M. (a placeholder name for privacy), who has studied clinical manifestations and treatment options. Additionally, patient advocacy groups like the United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF) support research efforts and raise awareness about these rare conditions.

I am not sure... Although, I suffer majorly from Hemi-Hyper Trophy. I am 13. It is very hard to deal with. Do you have Leukodystrophy oh Hemi-Hyper Trophy?
All types of leukodystrophy are genetic (present at conception), progressive, and never spontaneously resolve. None of the leukodystrophies can be cured, and effective treatments are limited.
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare degenerative neurological disease affecting the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers known as the myelin sheath.
Liver and kidney falure.
Adult metachromatic leukodystrophy is characterized by emotional disturbances and psychiatric symptoms. Disorders of movement and posture appear later. Dementia and decreased visual function also occur.
Research should be done whenever information is needed.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), also called sulfatide lipidosis and arylsulfatase A (ARSA) deficiency, is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, due to mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene
