What is the life expectancy of someone with leukodystrophy?
Could you elaborate on the potential life expectancy for individuals diagnosed with leukodystrophy? Leukodystrophy is a broad term referring to a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. Given the heterogeneity of these disorders, I'm curious to know if there's a general range or if it varies significantly depending on the specific type and progression of the disease. Is early diagnosis and treatment likely to impact longevity in these cases? And how do medical advancements in this field potentially alter the prognosis?
