08-15-2021-0108 - Krabbe disease

 Krabbe disease (KD) (also known as globoid cell leukodystrophy[3] or galactosylceramide lipidosis) is a rare and often fatal lysosomal storage disease that results in progressive damage to the nervous system. KD involves dysfunctional metabolism of sphingolipids and is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The disease is named after the Danish neurologist Knud Krabbe(1885–1965).[4]
