There are many variations of leukodystrophies. It is thought to be a genetic ailment from a mom to her son. However, there is one leukodystrophy that only Auschwitz Jews had.

I suspect it is a chemical poisoning that causes genetic harm: damage to the X chromosome, then the child has a birth defect that causes an abnormality in enzyme action. Long fatty chains are not broken down as they should be, causing a breakdown on the myelin covering of the nerves, and resultant inability to control muscles, etc. (this would be as with ALD)


The known leukodystrophies are listed below.

18q Syndrome with deficiency of myelin basic protein

Acute disseminated encephalomyeolitis (ADEM)

Acute Disseminated Leukoencephalitis

Acute Hemorrhagic Leukoencephalopathy

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD)

Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN)

Aicardi-Goutieres Syndrome

Alexander Disease

Adult-onset Autosomal Dominant Leukodystrophy (ADLD)

Autosomal Dominant Diffure Leukoencephalopathy with neuroaxonal spheroids

Autosomal Dominant late-onset leukoencephalopathy

Childhood Ataxia with diffuse CNS Hypomyelination (CACH or Vanishing White Matter Disease)

Canavan Disease

Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteropathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL)

Cerebrtendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX)

Craniometaphysical dysplasia with leukoencephalopathy

Extensive Cerebral White Matter abnormality without clinical symptoms

Familial adult-onset leukodystrophy manifesting as cerebellar ataxia and dementia

Familial leukodystrophy with adult onset dementia and abnormal glycolipid storage

Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (Krabbe Disease)

Hereditary adult onset leukodystrophy simulating chronic progressive multiple sclerosis

Lipomembranous osteodysplasia with leukodystrophy (Nasu Disease)

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)

Megalencephalic leukodystrophy with subcortical cysts (MLC)

Neuroaxona

I know the researchers are looking for something wrong with the genes ...

But it could also be that there is something wrong with one's genes because a parent ... had been poisoned?
 
Did you come down with a serious 'flu?'  Were people around that were exposed to a chemical like 2-butoxyethanol.
 
I just recognize the pattern of this chemical's harm because I've spent a lot of time looking into it
 
It's a theory that is provable ... I'm just suggesting that for many autoimmune metabolic issues; CFIDS in particular, this is a chemical that should be given serious consideration.  Right now our genes & everything else gets the blame for what 2-butoxyethanol does.  It is a  provable theory; however, those harmed by it and their doctors have the proof
 
The Jews in WWII at a particular camp ... came down with the same variety of leukodystrophy and no one else anywhere has
 
It was thought that pancreatic cancer such as Michael Landon had was familial. (He died of pancreatic & liver cancers 1991; 54 years old)
Guess where the registries are:  In countries of WWII and WWI wars: 
Germany, United Kingdom, Japan, 11 in the US, a Jewish one in Canada & Spain
 
http://www.pancreatica.org/registries.html

Pancreatic cancer showing up predominately in these populations makes sense to me: Bomb fumes in eyes from WWII ... would be an exposure to this chemical, I believe ... So it makes sense to me that Japan, Germany, Great Britain & USA have pancreatic registries

However, we may be dealing with several generations of chemically poisoned people. Look for fatigue of Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome: acquired
compensated autoimmune hemolytic anemia or consider birth defects of cancers from primary poisoned family member
 
I'm sorry Lorenzo's dad must think that it was 2nd hand smoke that caused's his wife's lung cancer
 
There are soft tissue sarcomas  that can be from this chemical's harm ... that cause lung cancer - not just from smoking
