Krabbe disease: increased incidence in a highly inbred community

J Zlotogora et al. Am J Med Genet. 1985 Aug.

Abstract

Krabbe disease (globoid cell leukodystrophy) was found with very high incidence (6/1,000 live births) in a large Druze kindred in Israel. The clinical data on 12 of the affected children demonstrated clinical variability even though these children are homozygous for the same mutation by descent from a common ancestor.
