Arylsulfatases A and B in leukocytes: a comparative statistical study of late infantile and juvenile forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy and controls. 1980

G Dubois, and J C Turpin, and M C Georges, and N Baumann

We report a statistical study on the level of aryl-sulfatases A and B in leukocytes of 106 controls, 19 cases of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) infantile and juvenile forms and 25 obligate heterozygotes for MLD. Arylsulfatase A has been found to be similarly deficient in patients of the two forms. Half of the mean of the controls have been found in both types for heterozygotes. Arylsulfatase B (ASB) is slightly higher than normal in late infantile MLD although it is not statistically significant. In the 5 cases of the juvenile forms that were examined, ASB was found to be significantly reduced. This enzyme may play a role in relation to the onset of the disease.

D007966 Leukodystrophy, Metachromatic 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.

D002553 Cerebroside-Sulfatase An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cerebroside 3-sulfate (sulfatide) to yield a cerebroside and inorganic sulfate. A marked deficiency of arylsulfatase A, which is considered the heat-labile component of cerebroside sulfatase, has been demonstrated in all forms of metachromatic leukodystrophy (LEUKODYSTROPHY, METACHROMATIC).
