Infantile Canavan Disease, also known as Canavan-Van Bogaert-Bertrand disease, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain. It is categorized as an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that it occurs when a child inherits two copies of the mutated gene responsible for the disease. Infants with this condition usually appear normal at birth but develop severe symptoms within the first few months of life. Some synonyms for Infantile Canavan Disease include Canavan leukodystrophy, Canavan Syndrome, Van Bogaert-Bertrand Syndrome, and Spongy degeneration of the central nervous system. Early diagnosis and supportive care can help manage the symptoms, but unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this devastating disease.
