Schindler Disease

Schindler disease is a very rare inherited condition caused by a lack of the enzyme alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase, which lets sugar-protein compounds build up inside cells. It can range from severe neurological problems beginning in infancy to milder adult-onset forms with skin lesions. There is no specific treatment, so care focuses on managing symptoms and supportive therapies.

This overview is general information, not an individual medical assessment. Research is selected automatically and may include mismatches. How we select and explain research.

Schindler Disease is very rare and little research has been published, so this page includes research from every year, including case reports about individual patients. Case reports are marked, and describe one person's experience rather than tested results.
