Svensk definition
En autosomalt recessiv ämnesomsättningssjukdom orsakad av brist på arylsulfatas A (cerebrosidsulfatas), vilken leder till ansamling av cerebrosidsulfat (sulfoglykosfingolipider) i lysosomerna i centrala nervsystemet och andra organ. Till de patologiska dragen hör diffus myelinförlust och metakromatisk färgning av kornen i många celltyper, som t ex gliacellerna. Det finns ett flertal allele- och icke-alleleformer med ett antal olika neurologiska symtom.
