Ron Avery Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 See this link http://www.ledondelachance.com/The French lottery, TFI and Generali are running this. They are asking for donations of which you can claim back "’une réduction d’impôt égale à 66 % de votre don dans la limite de 20% de votre revenu imposable. Ainsi un don de 45 euros vous fera bénéficier de 30 euros de réduction d’impôt et ne vous coûtera en réalité que 15 euros".Seems a very worthwhile cause, the patron is Zidane, but I don't know what the English translation of this genetic disease is. Is it cerebral palsy?The description in Franch is "Les leucodystrophies sont des maladies rares caractérisées par un processus de démyélinisation du système nerveux central et périphérique, d'apparence primitive et non inflammatoire et aboutissant à une sclérose cérébrale. Elles sont presque exclusivement d'origine génétique.Le terme de leucodystrophie se rapporte à un groupe de maladies d'origine génétique affectant la myéline du système nerveux central.Anyone medical or French who can shed any light on this please?

Daft Doctor Posted December 5, 2008 Share Posted December 5, 2008 Hi, I may be wrong but I think the equivalent in english is Multiple Sclerosis, characterised by widespread patchy demyelination of the white matter in the nervous system, hence leuko (white) dystrophy.
