Adult-onset Krabbe's disease in siblings with novel mutations in the galactocerebrosidase gene.

Krabbe's disease or globoid cell leukodystrophy is a rare demyelinating disorder of the central and peripheral nervous systems, the diagnosis of which is based on clinical findings and the determination of low to absent functional activity of the enzyme beta-galactocerebrosidase. We report the presentation of late-onset Krabbe's disease in 2 siblings, a 17-year-old boy and his 16-year-old sister, both with marked deficiency of the enzyme beta-galactocerebrosidase. Only the older sibling manifested clinical signs and symptoms of the disease, while the younger sister remained asymptomatic to date. Molecular analyses disclosed the presence in this family of two novel single point mutations within the gene for galactocerebrosidase.[1]
