The Leukodystrophies are a group of rare brain-degenerative diseases that strip away myelin, the insulated covering of nerves in the brain. Prognosis for these diseases depends on the specific type of Leukodystrophy. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive, and can include medications, various therapies, and possible bone marrow transplantation. Government funding for research is limited, so it is important to provide funding for research to find a cure for these diseases.
For additional information regarding the Leukodystrophies, or to register for the upcoming “One Step Closer” Walk for Leukodystrophy, log on to www.stennisfoundation.org.
