Leukodystrophy and Rare Neurologic Disease Clinic
Back to NeuroDevelopmental Science Center
Leukodystrophies are a group of more than 50 neurological disorders. These disorders are inherited and affect the myelin, the protective covering on nerves, in the brain. Leukodystrophies are progressive and usually cause loss of neurological function in infants and children.
The Leukodystrophy and Rare Neurologic Disease Clinic is multidisciplinary and includes providers from neurology, complex care pediatrics, a genetic counselor and a nurse coordinator. Additional specialties will be added based on patient needs.
The clinic provides:
- Longer visits
- Care coordination
- Concierge services for families who often require scheduling multiple specialist visits
- Help navigating the search for clinical trials and research opportunities
