Krabbe disease (KD), or globoid cell leukodystrophy (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man #245200), is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in GALC leading to galactocerebrosidase deficiency. Age at onset can vary from early infancy (3–6 months of age) to adulthood, which has rarely been reported. Little is known about the natural history and early manifestations of adult onset KD (AOKD).
