Abstract excerpt
Krabbe disease (KD) is an infantile neurodegenerative disorder resulting from pathogenic variants in the GALC gene which causes accumulation of the toxic sphingolipid psychosine. GALC variants are associated with increased risk of Lewy body diseases (LBD), an umbrella term for age-associated neurodegenerative diseases in which the protein α-synuclein aggregates into Lewy bodies.
