摘要
More than 50 leukodystrophies have been described. This group of inherited disorders affects myelin development and/or maintenance and can manifest from birth to adulthood. Neuroinflammation is a hallmark of some leukodystrophies, explaining in part the therapeutic benefit of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Indeed, in addition to supplying the CNS with myelomonocyte donor cells expressing the deficient protein or enzyme, HSCT allows the restoration of normal microglia function, which may act on neuroinflammation. In this chapter, we explore the rationale, indication, and outcome of HSCT in Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), Krabbe Disease (KD), and Adult-onset Leukoencephalopathy with Axonal Spheroids and Pigmented Glia (ALSP), which are among the most frequent leukodystrophies. For these leukodystrophies, HSCT may modify notably the natural history and improve CNS-related deficits, provided that the procedure is performed early into the disease course. In addition, we discuss the recent development of ex vivo gene therapy for CALD and MLD as a promising alternative to allograft.
