• Onset in first few months of life with rotary
head movements, rotary nystagmus, & motor
delay
• Then ataxia, tremor, choreoathetosis,
spasticity
• Seizures
• Optic atrophy and ocular impairments
• MRI: Reversal of gray-white signal due to
diffuse dymyelination

• Irritability, intermittent fevers, heightened
startle reflex, feeding problems
• Develop seizures, opisthotonus
• Deafness and blindness by 9 months
• MRI:
KRABBE DISEASE
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
• AR defect of arylsulfatase-A
• Leukodystrophy as well as disease of adrenal
glands, kidneys, pancreas, liver
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
• 3 Presentations
– Late infantile (18-24 months)
• Gait disturbance, hypotonia to hypertonia, regression,
involuntary movements, neuropathy, cherry red spot
– Juvenile (4-10 years)
• Bradykinesia, poor school performance, ataxia,
movement disorder, neuropathy, slower progression
– Adult
• After puberty get personality and mental changes,
cortical and cerebellar regression to frank dementia in
third to fourth decade
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
L.B.
• 4-year-old girl with GDD, hypotonia, & worsening
ataxia
– Development at 12-18 month level
– Hyperactivity, inattention and aggression (Tenex)
• Family history
– Maternal cousin with chromosome deletion
– Paternal half-sister with B12 deficiency (?)
• Labs
– CMA, karyotype, FRX, purine/pyrimidines, biotinidase,
MECP2, AS/PWS, EEG, brain MRI (9/2010)
First Visit
• Labs: PAA, acylcarnitine profile, vitamin
B12, homocysteine, MMA level, creatine
metabolites
• Repeat brain MRI consistent with MLD
Second Visit
• Lysosomal enzyme panel, VLCFA,
coenzyme Q10 level
– Arylsulfatase A level 1.5 (low)
– GM1, mannosidosis, fucosidosis, Krabbe,
Tay-sachs normal
Follow Up Testing
• No mutations in arylsulfatase A gene
• Parental testing showed normal
arylsulfatase A enzyme activity
Additional Testing
• Arylsulfatase B enzyme activity at 4-5%
normal
• Huge peak of sulfatides in patient
• Multiple sulfatase deficiency diagnosed
• Molecular testing pending
Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency
• AR, mutations in sulfatase-modifying factor-1 gene
(SUMF1) on 3p26
• Austria: 1 in 1.4 million individuals
• Affects 12 sulfatase enzymes
– Post-translation modification defect in which cystein residue
of enzyme is not activated
– Defect in enzyme that causes oxidation of a thiol group in
cysteine to generate an alpha-formylglycine residue
– Alpha-formylglycine residue may accept the sulfate during
sulfate ester cleavage by hydrolysis
– Examples: arylsulfatase, steroid sulfatase, heparan
sulfatase, N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase
Multiple Sulfatase Deficiency
• 3 phenotypes
– Neonatal MSD: severe mucopolysaccharidosis
– Late infantile MSD: late-onset MLD
– Juvenile MSD
• Combined features of MLD, Hunter,
Sanfilippo A, Morquio, Maroteaux-Lamy, Xlinked ichthyosis
Canavan
• AR deficiency of asparto-acylase
• Macrocephaly, lack of head control, and
developmental delays by the age of three to five
months
• Develop severe hypotonia and failure to achieve
independent sitting, ambulation, or speech
• Hypotonia eventually changes to spasticity
• Life expectancy is usually into the teens
• Diagnosis of Canavan disease relies upon
demonstration of very high concentration of N-acetyl
aspartic acid (NAA) in the urine

L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria
• Underlying defect unknown
• Clinical
– Normal to mild delays in infancy and early childhood
– Slowly progressive encephalopathy
– Variable rate of progressive ataxia, seizures,
pyramidal signs, movement disorder (dystonia,
tremor, choreoathetosis), dementia
– 50% with macrocephaly
• Laboratory: no metabolic decompensation,
increased plasma lysine, elevated 2hydroxyglutaric acid in urine
Brain MRI
L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria
• Neuroimaging
– Severe cerebellar atrophy
– Mildly swollen white matter with gyral effacement
– Leukoencephalpathy more prominent closer to
cerebral cortex
– Increased signal intensity in dentate and striatum
• Differential Diagnosis
– D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria presents earlier
– GAII causes elevations of D-2-hydroxyglutaric acid
• Treatment - none
Alexander Disease
• AD mutation in GFAP at 17q21.31
• Onset at around 6 months (birth – 2 yrs)
• Psychomotor regression, spasticity and
seizures
• Juvenile patients have ataxia and spasticity
• Adult patients have MS-like presentation
• Diffuse demyelination, especially in frontal
lobes

Peroxisome Function
• Synthesis
– Plasmologens (ether-phospholipids)
– Bile acid from mevalonate
• Catabolism
– -oxidize very long chain fatty acids (esp C24:0
and C26:0), pristanic acid and bile acid
intermediates
– -oxidize phytanic acid (chlorophyll derivative) to
pristanic acid
– Lysine via pipecolic acid and glutaric acid
– Glyoxylate to prevent conversion to oxalate
Peroxisomal Disorders
• 16 disorders
– 15 are autosomal recessive
– 1 is X-linked (adrenoleukodystrophy)
• Predominant features
– Dysmorphisms
– Neurologic dysfunction
– Liver disease
Peroxisomal Disorders
• Biosynthesis Defects
– Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZD, IRD, NR)
– Rhizomelia chondrodysplasia punctata
• Single Peroxisomal Enzyme Deficiencies

Peroxisomal Biogenesis
• Peroxisomes multiply by division
• Proteins carried from free polyribosomes to
peroxisomes by
peroxisomal targeting signals (PTS)
• PTS1
– Last 3 carboxy terminal amino acids
– PTS1 receptor encoded by PEX5
• PTS2
– Stretch of 9 amino acids
– PTS2 receptor encoded by PEX7
Peroxisomal Biogenesis
• PTS receptors deliver proteins to
peroxisomal protein import machinery
• Import machinery transports proteins
across membrane
• Transporter complex has at least 15
peroxins (PEX1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 12, 13,
14, 16, 19, 26)
Zellweger Spectrum Disorders

micrognathia, low/broad nose, redundant skin folds)

ZELLWEGER SYNDROME
Zellweger Spectrum Disorders
• Classic Zellweger (CZ)
• Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD)
– Somewhat less severe than CZ
– May lack dysmorphisms altogether
– Neonatal or infantile onset of seizures, hypotonia, and
progressive leukodystrophy
– May have pachypolymicrogyria
• Infantile Refsum disease (IRD)

–
Least severe phenotype, regression over time
May be asymptomatic at birth
No progressive leukodystrophy
Variable expressivity of cognitive dysfunction
Deafness and vision changes (retinopathy)
May survive to adulthood
Adrenoleukodystrophy/
Adrenomyeloneuropathy
• Most common peroxisomal disorder (1/20,000)
• Mutation in ABCD on Xq28 leads to defect in
peroxisomal uptake of VLCFA
• ALD: progressive neurologic disorder that begins at 512 years
