Successful Pregnancy Following Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis of Adrenoleukodystrophy by Detection of Mutation on the ABCD1 Gene. [PDF]
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare sex-linked recessive disorder that disrupts adrenal gland function and the white matter of the nervous system. According to recent epidemiological statistics, up to this moment, the disease is the most recorded peroxisomal disorder.

A novel mutation in the ABCD1 gene of a Chinese patient with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy: Case report. [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder, which is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait. ATP binding cassette subfamily D member 1 (ABCD1) localized to Xq28 is the only gene associated with ALD.We report a case of Chinese boy with childhood cerebral ALD, who began experiencing symptoms at the age of 5 years and ...

Expanded Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation in Cerebral X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy: A Case Report. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Umbilical cord blood transplantation is a viable source of stem cells due to accessibility and low incidence of chronic graft‐versus‐host disease despite human‐leukocyte‐antigen mismatching. Disadvantages of low stem cell dose in larger recipients include delayed immune reconstitution, graft rejection, and mortality.

Plasma Very-Long-Chain Fatty Acids in X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy: Diagnostic Insights From a Clinical Laboratory Cohort. [PDF]
Plasma VLCFA levels are increased in symptomatic X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy, particularly in patients with cerebral involvement. However, they do not reliably predict disease progression or longitudinal changes. These findings support their diagnostic value while highlighting the need for more robust prognostic biomarkers in clinical practice ...

Peroxisomal Lipid Metabolism as a Therapeutic Target in Leukemia. [PDF]
Peroxisomes are emerging as key regulators of lipid metabolism in leukemia. Enhanced metabolism of very‐long‐chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) supports leukemia cell survival, redox homeostasis, and therapeutic resistance. Pharmacologic disruption of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation causes VLCFA accumulation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial dysfunction ...

ABCD2 is a direct target of β-catenin and TCF-4: implications for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy therapy. [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a peroxisomal disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter subfamily D member 1 protein (ABCD1), which is referred to as the ...

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited disorder caused by deleterious mutations in the ABCD1 gene. The ABCD1 protein transports very long-chain FAs (VLCFAs) from the cytosol into the peroxisome where the VLCFAs are degraded through β ...
