Dear parent Although there is no cure for Krabbe disease is known,�bone marrow�transplantation�has been shown to benefit cases early in the course of the disease. Generally, treatment for the disorder is symptomatic and supportive. Physical therapy�may help maintain or increase�muscle�tone and circulation.�Cord blood�transplants have been successful in stopping the disease as long as they are given before overt symptoms appear. All the best.
