Genetic screening for Krabbe disease: learning from the past and looking to the future.
[krabbe disease]
In
Israel
,
Krabbe
disease
is
frequent
in
two
Moslem
Arab
villages
in
the
Jerusalem
area
.
In
this
paper
we
present
our
experience
of
almost
four
decades
with
diagnosis
of
Krabbe
disease
,
carrier
screening
and
prenatal
diagnosis
.
The
screening
program
is
well
accepted
by
the
community
,
and
there
is
a
clear
trend
towards
premarital
testing
.
The
screening
program
and
prenatal
diagnosis
have
led
to
a
decrease
in
the
incidence
of
Krabbe
disease
from
1
.
6
per
1
,
000
live
births
to
0
.
82
per
1
,
