Descriptor leucodistrofia metacromática
Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de arilsulfatasa A
enfermedad por deficiencia de cerebrósido sulfatasa
enfermedad por deficiencia de cerebrósido-sulfatasa
Scope note: Enfermedad metabólica autosómica recesiva causada por deficiencia de CEREBRÓSIDO SULFATASA que da lugar a acumulación intralisosómica de cerebrósido sulfato (SULFOGLICOESFINGOLÍPIDOS) en el sistema nervioso y otros órganos. Las características anatomopatológicas consisten en desmielinización difusa y presencia de gránulos metacromáticos en muchos tipos celulares tales como las CÉLULAS GLIALES. Hay varias formas alélicas y no alélicas y diversisdad de síntomas neurológicos.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by a deficiency of CEREBROSIDE-SULFATASE leading to intralysosomal accumulation of cerebroside sulfate (SULFOGLYCOSPHINGOLIPIDS) in the nervous system and other organs. Pathological features include diffuse demyelination, and metachromatically-staining granules in many cell types such as the GLIAL CELLS. There are several allelic and nonallelic forms with a variety of neurological symptoms.
