ABCD1 Transporter Deficiency Results in Altered Cholesterol Homeostasis
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), the most common peroxisomal disorder, is caused by mutations in the peroxisomal transporter ABCD1, resulting in the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA).

ABCD1 Gene Mutations in Chinese Patients with ALD
Thirty-two different ABCD1 mutations were identified by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction products in 34 unrelated Chinese X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) patients examined at Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, PRC.

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. Pathogenic variants of ABCD1 cause VLCFAs to build up in various tissues and bodily fluids, resulting in a disorder called X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD).

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. In these cases, functional tests in fibroblasts may help to classify a variant as (likely) benign or pathogenic. We sought to establish reference

Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is a kind of varied disease caused by ABCD1 gene mutation and characterized by very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) accumulation. It is diagnosed by clinical features, high VLCFAs levels and ABCD1 gene mutation.

Segmental Optic Atrophy with Adrenoleukodystrophy ABCD1 Gene Variant
We report a case of Adrenoleukodystrophy ABCD1 gene variant presenting with segmental optic atrophy in a 34-year-old male. The patient presented to our Neuro-Ophthalmology clinic with complaints of defective vision in both eyes, mild headache and gait disturbances. Ocular examination showed best corrected visual acuity of 6/24 in both eyes and fundus

Adrenomyeloneuropathy with cerebral involvement due to a novel frameshift variant in ABCD1 gene [PDF]
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder caused by mutations in the gene, ABCD1, causing abnormal accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids in the nervous system and adrenal glands. There are various clinical manifestations of ALD.

Histone deacetylase inhibitor upregulates peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation and inhibits apoptotic cell death in abcd1-deficient glial cells. [PDF]
In X-ALD, mutation/deletion of ALD gene (ABCD1) and the resultant very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) derangement has dramatically opposing effects in astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.
