ABCD1 Gene Mutations: Mechanisms and Management of Adrenomyeloneuropathy [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene on the X chromosome may result in widely heterogenous phenotypes, including adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). Affected males typically present in their third or fourth decade of life with progressive lower limb weakness ...

Biochemical Studies in Fibroblasts to Interpret Variants of Unknown Significance in the ABCD1 Gene. [PDF]
Due to newborn screening for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), and the use of exome sequencing in clinical practice, the detection of variants of unknown significance (VUS) in the ABCD1 gene is increasing.

Characterization of a Pathogenic Variant in the ABCD1 Gene Through Protein Molecular Modeling. [PDF]
Background. The ATP-binding cassette, subfamily D, member 1 (ABCD1) protein is a peroxisomal half-transporter that allows for very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) degradation.

Novel mutations in the ABCD1 gene caused adrenomyeloneuropathy in the Chinese population [PDF]
Background As a rare genetic disease, adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is the most common adult phenotype of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). Mutations in the ABCD1 gene have been identified to cause AMN.

Two Single Nucleotide Deletions in the ABCD1 Gene Causing Distinct Phenotypes of X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy. [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare inborn error of the peroxisomal metabolism caused by pathologic variants in the ATP-binding cassette transporter type D, member 1 (ABCD1) gene located on the X-chromosome.

Identification of Two Novel Mutations of ABCD1 Gene in Pedigrees with X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy and Review of the Literature. [PDF]
Background. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is an inherited peroxisomal metabolism disorder, resulting from the loss-of-function mutation of ATP-binding cassette protein subfamily D1 (ABCD1) gene.

A Chinese X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy Patient With Atypical Clinical Symptoms Contained an Undefined ABCD1 Mutation-A Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
ABSTRACT X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) is a genetic peroxisome disorder linked to ABCD1 mutation, characterized by rapid and complex clinical symptoms. We here report a case of X‐ALD manifesting solely as dysarthria, associated with an undefined mutation in the ABCD1 gene, underscoring the necessity of atypical clinical symptoms in X‐ALD ...

The Grey Zone Project: Risk-Based Classification of ABCD1 Variants in X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Newborn screening (NBS) for X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) enables early identification of boys at risk for adrenal insufficiency (AI) and cerebral ALD (CALD). However, NBS frequently identifies ABCD1 variants of uncertain significance (VUS), which are associated with only borderline‐elevated C26:0‐lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC(26:0 ...

Gene Therapy of Adrenomyeloneuropathy: Challenges, Target Cells, and Prospectives. [PDF]
Gene replacement using adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors has become a major therapeutic avenue for neurodegenerative diseases (NDD). In single-gene diseases with loss-of-function mutations, the objective of gene therapy is to express therapeutic ...
