The Leukodystrophy Center (LC) at Weill Cornell Medicine is comprised of a multidisciplinary team which provides comprehensive medical care to both children and adults affected by a leukodystrophy. Allied with the New York State Newborn Screening Program, we specialize in the imaging surveillance of patients identified by newborn screening.
