In Leukodystrophy 'Leuko' means white, and 'dystrophy' means imperfect growth. Leukodystrophy is rare genetic metabolic disorder that refers to group of conditions effecting the white matter of the brain and the spinal cord because of imperfect growth or development of the myelin sheath, a fatty covering which is acting as an insulator around nerve fiber and gives its color to the white matter of the brain.
Leukodystrophy are typically progressive conditions, means getting worse over time.
In Leukodystrophy, myelin may be decreased or lacking, and normal myelination may not be achieved and the myelin that is formed may break down.
