New Specialty Clinic for Leukodystrophy Metabolic Disorders
Partners HealthCare recently established a new multidisciplinary specialty clinic for the diagnosis and treatment of leukodystrophy, a family of inherited metabolic disorders. The MGH based clinic is the only clinic in the Northeast that provides a multidisciplinary approach to treating patients who suffer from these disabling, and sometimes fatal, neurological disorders.
The clinic was established to help clinicians recognize leukodystrophies and to contribute ongoing research into the causes and possible treatments for the disorders. For more information about the Partners Leukodystrophy Clinic, call (617) 726-5750.
