Canavan disease is also called aspartoacylase deficiency
What is Canavan disease also called?
Canavan disease is also called aspartoacylase deficiency
What does Aspartoacylase do?
Aspartoacylase is responsible for breaking down a substance called N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA)
What happens when aspartoacylase is decreased?
When the body produces decreased levels of aspartoacylase, a build-up of NAA results
What breaks down N-acetylaspartic acid?
Aspartoacylase breaks down N-acetylaspartic acid
What leads to Canavan disease?
It results when the body produces less than normal amounts of a protein called aspartoacylase
When a patient has iron deficiency anemia how will the erythrocytes appear?

Is Canavan disease caused by a mutation?

This gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called aspartoacylase, which is essential for the breakdown of a compound called N-acetylaspartate. Mutations in the ASPA gene lead to the accumulation of N-acetylaspartate in the brain, causing the characteristic features of Canavan disease.
What do you do if you get bad grades?
The best thing to do is build a relationship with the teachers and work out a deficiency plan. "What can you do and what do you need to change to improve?" is what you should find out from the teachers.
