What is galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase?
Krabbe disease causes not enough of it to be made
Not enough myelin madeMaterial that protects and surrounds
nerve fibersMade up of protein and fatty
substancesMain purpose is for fast and efficient
transmission of impulses
Dugdale, David C. Myelin. Ed. David Zieve. National Institute of Health, 21 May 2009. Web. 7 Mar. 2011. <http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002261.htm>.

Galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase (continued)
Myelin is constantly built and broken down as nerves growEnzymes are needed to break it down
Galactosylceramidase enzyme also becomes less effectivePsychosine accumulates in the cell○ Too much is toxic○ Damages myelin producing cells

Galactocerebroside beta-galactosidase (continued)
Un-metabolized substances accumulate in large globoid cellsAlso called
globoid cell leukodystrophy

Location of the gene
Located on the GALC gene“Galactosylceramidase” is the official
name Chromosome number 14 Located on base pair numbers
88,399,357 to 88,459,906

Sequence of the mutation More than seventy mutations can cause
Krabbe Disease Most common mutation deletes a large
segment of the GALC gene30-kb delUsually found in those of European & Mexican
descent Late-onset form
Usually has mutation G270D or G809A in one of the two copies of the gene○ The other copy usually has a different mutation, like
the 30-kb delThe G270D/ G809A allows for some myelin to be
made for some time, so onset of the disease is delayed1. GALC. National Institute of Health, 1 Mar. 2007. Web. 7 Mar. 2011. <http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene/GALC>.

beta-galactosidase
People who have Krabbe disease can’t make enough of this to produce enough myelin.

Symptoms! Affects the nervous system Average person dies at 13 months Early-onset (85-90% of the time)
Changing muscle tone from floppy to rigidHearing lossFeeding difficultiesRandom feversUsually dies before age of 2
Late-onsetNot as severe, more likely to live longerSymptoms vary from person to person○ Walking difficulties○ Vision problems○ Rigid musclesKrabbe Disease. Ed. Chad Haldeman-Englert and David Zieve. National Institute of Health, 15

Cures or Treatments
No specific treatment available Bone marrow transplants may work,
but there are some risks Studies show that umbilical cord
blood stem cell transplants were successful
Physical therapy can also help Gene therapy
Introduce normal GALC gene into cells○ Still in research stages, not performed

History
Probably originated in Sweden First described in 1916 by Danish
neurologist Knud Haraldsen KrabbeObserved the condition in two siblingsDescribed the globoid cells in the white
matter of the brain

Other Info No cases have been reported in
the Ashkenazi Jewish population ~1 in 100,000 infants born in the
US & Europe will have Krabbe disease
A Druze community in Northern Israel and two Moselm Arab villages near Jerusalem have an unusually high incidence rateOne in every six people is a carrier
