New MRI study maps rare brain disease in children

NCT ID NCT01325025

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study used powerful MRI scans to track how a rare genetic disease called metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) damages the brain's white matter in young children. Researchers studied 29 children aged 1 to 6 years with MLD, along with a control group, to better understand how the disease progresses. The goal was to find new ways to measure the disease that could help select patients for future treatments.
