WHAT DOES LEUKODYSTROPHY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

leukodystrophy

Leukodystrophy

Leukodystrophy is group of disorders characterized by degeneration of the white matter in the brain. The leukodystrophies are caused by imperfect growth or development of the myelin sheath, the fatty covering that acts as an insulator around nerve fibers. Myelin in the CNS is produced by oligodendrocytes. When damage occurs to white matter tissue immune responses can lead to inflammation in the CNS, along with loss of myelin. The word leukodystrophy comes from the Greek roots leuko, white, dys, lack of, and troph, growth. Thus leukodystrophy describes a set of diseases that affect the growth or maintenance of the white matter.

Definition of leukodystrophy in the English dictionary

The definition of leukodystrophy in the dictionary is any of several progressive disorders characterized by the degeneration of white matter or myelin.
