Abstract

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has emerged as a sensitive matrix for the screening of biomarkers for diagnosis and clinical follow-up of diseases with neurological manifestations, including some lysosomal storage disorders. In this study, we assessed the range of values of arylsulfatase A (ARSA) activity in the CSF of pediatric and adult donors, and in pediatric patients who underwent gene therapy for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).
