Alex, The Leukodystrophy Charity

Alex TLC (The Leukodystrophy Charity), offers support and information to all affected by a genetic leukodystrophy. Leukodystrophies are genetic disorders primarily affecting the white matter of the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as impaired mobility, vision, speech and hearing, incontinence, inability to swallow and loss of cognitive skills. In some cases, they may cause death. These conditions affect males and females of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, most notably children.
