Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is part of a larger group of lysosomal storage diseases, some of which are progressive, inherited, and neurodegenerative disorders (metachromatic leukodystrophy included). Four types of metachromatic leukodystrophy occur with varying ages of onset and courses (ie, late infantile, early juvenile, late juvenile, adult). All forms of the disease involve a progressive deterioration of motor and neurocognitive function.
