Details of RareLED ID 2023
Primary information
ID2023
DisorderKrabbe disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy)
InheritanceAutosomal recessive 
Organ AffectedNervous System,Eye,Ear
OnsetEarly
Genotype-Phenotype Correlationresidual GALC activity in both leukocyte and skin fibroblast samples from the patient with the L629R mutation, who was diagnosed with late-onset GLD, is indistinguishable from residual GALC activity in infantile patients who have the most severe form of GLD. I234T mutation, which was also found in a late-onset patient, was confirmed to have an undetectable level of residual activity.D528N mutation appears to influence glycosylation, and alter protein processing, secretion, re-uptake and trafficking to lysosomes in a way that reduces GALC function and causes disease
