Galactocerebrosidase Activity Research Articles

Galactocerebrosidase deficiency in globoid cell leucodystrophy of late onset.

Three children with progressive neurological disease are described in whom there was deficient galactocerebrosidase activity in white cells. Necropsy in one patient showed the neuropathological features of globoid cell leucodystrophy, and it is suggested that these patients suffered from a clinically and genetically distinct late form of Krabbe's disease.
