United Leukodystrophy Foundation

United Leukodystrophy Foundation The United Leukodystrophy Foundation serves families affected by leukodystrophy by promoting progress on research, treatment, and prevention.

The United Leukodystrophy Foundation (ULF), incorporated in 1982, is a non-profit, voluntary health organization dedicated to providing patients and their families with information about the disease and with assistance in identifying sources of medical care, social services, and genetic counseling; establishing a communication network among families; increasing public awareness and acting as an i

nformation source for healthcare providers; and promoting and supporting research into causes, treatments, and prevention of the leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies make up a group of genetic, nervous system disorders affecting the myelin sheath, which insulates the axon through which nerve impulses are conducted. The ULF is supported solely by donations.
