Krabbe Disease

Posted by Chavonne Jones On May - 26 - 2008 Subscribe here

Krabbe disease is a rare genetic disorder that degenerates the central and peripheral nervous systems. Many individuals affected begin showing symptoms such as; limb stiffness, seizures, vomiting, and the slowing of mental and motor development before six months old. Due to this progressive loss of mental and motor function, children usually die before age 18 months. Less severe variations exist with onset in later childhood or adulthood.
