Metachromatic Leucodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system. Our quantitative blood test measures specific enzyme levels that, when deficient, can lead to the accumulation of harmful substances in the brain and nervous system. This test provides crucial information about your genetic health, helping identify potential risks before symptoms become severe.
