Treatment
Treatment - Krabbe disease- atypical- due to Saposin A deficiency There is no specific treatment for Krabbe disease. Some people have had a bone marrow transplant in the early stages of the disease, but this treatment has risks. [checkorphan.org]
It is not in any way intended to be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment or care. Our staff consists of biologists and biochemists that are not trained to give medical advice . [uniprot.org]
Management and treatment Treatment is limited to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in pre-symptomatic infantile patients and mildly affected late-onset patients and has been shown to slow the progression of the disease. [orpha.net]

Results are better if treatment is commenced during infancy before development of symptoms. These treatments are experimental and long range outcomes remain uncertain. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Prognosis
Prognosis - Krabbe disease- atypical- due to Saposin A deficiency The outcome is likely to be poor. On average, infants with early-onset cases die before age 2. [checkorphan.org]
Prognosis Neurodegeneration and early death (< 2-3 years) occurs in most infantile cases. In late infantile/juvenile patients, the disease is generally fatal 2-7 years after the symptoms begin. [orpha.net]
However, for the purposes of determining prognosis and management, the classification of GD by clinical subtype is still useful in describing the wide range of clinical findings and broad variability in presentation. [flipper.diff.org]
Etiology
Etiology The disease is due to mutations in the GALC gene (14q31) encoding the lysosomal enzyme galactocerebrosidase, that catabolizes the hydrolysis of galactose from galactocerebroside and galactosylsphingosine (psychosine). [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology It has an estimated prevalence of 1/100,000 in the Northern European population (higher in certain populations) and a worldwide incidence of 1/100,000-1/250,000 live births. [orpha.net]
However, epidemiological studies conducted in the USA and Israel have shown that the incidence of this disorder amongst Ashkenazi Jews is significantly higher than this, with a prevalence of about 1 in 450 in this population (High frequency of the Gaucher [flipper.diff.org]
