Early‐onset endocrine salt‐wasting syndromes unrelated to 21‐hydroxylase deficiency overlap markedly at presentation, limiting etiological distinction. In this 20‐patient cohort, disease‐specific patterns emerged during follow‐up, while growth was generally preserved and initial biochemical severity was not associated with later treatment burden or ...

Histochemical characteristics of the striated inclusions of adrenoleukodystrophy. [PDF]
The straited accumulations in adrenal cortical cells and brain macrophages that are characteristic of adrenoleukodystrophy have been studied histochemically in cryostat sections to seek leads for the biochemical identification of the striated material ...

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 ...

Two novel missense mutations causing adrenoleukodystrophy in Italian patients [PDF]
The authors present two new missense mutations in exon 1 of the adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) gene. The first, a C813T transition, results in the substitution Pro143 Ser in the third putative transmembrane domain of the adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP ...

ABSTRACT Background In Japan, the number of children with medical complexity (CMC) is increasing. In response, the Act on Support for Children Requiring Constant Medical Care and Their Families mandated prefectural support centre establishment and promoted coordination across health, welfare and education sectors.

Pericarditis as the Presenting Feature of Adrenoleukodystrophy [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is characterized by elevated levels of very long chain fatty acids in the serum, brain, and adrenal glands that can lead to neurodevelopmental impairment and decreased adrenal function. We report here the case of a pediatric

ABSTRACT Objective To determine the concentration of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma in Alexander disease (AxD) and whether GFAP levels are predictive of disease phenotypes. Methods CSF and plasma were collected (longitudinally when available) from AxD participants and non‐AxD controls.
