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 ...

Adrenoleukodystrophy. literature review and case study.
X–linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare peroxisomal disease inherited with X chromosome. The disease damages tissues in the brain and adrenal glands. X–linked adrenoleukodystrophy is caused by a mutation in the ABCD1 gene which impairs a degradation of ...

Abstract Prime editing, a novel clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)‐based technology, fuses a reverse transcriptase (RT) to an engineered CRISPR‐associated protein 9 (Cas9) and uses a prime editing guide RNA (pegRNA)‐encoded template.

We established a diagnostic system for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) and peroxisomal disorders (PD) over 35 years ago in Japan, and have diagnosed 237 families with ALD and more than 100 cases of PD other than ALD using biochemical and molecular analyses ...

Spinal cord trauma and the molecular point of no return [PDF]
A mechanical trauma to the spinal cord can be followed by the development of irreversible and progressive neurodegeneration, as opposed to a temporary or partially reversible neurological damage.

Dystonic opisthotonus: A rare phenotype of adrenoleukodystrophy
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a pan-ethnic disorder and affects approximately 1:20,000 males (Moser HW, Mahmood A, Raymond GV. X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.

The progressive neurometabolic disorder X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is caused by pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene, which encodes the peroxisomal ATP-binding transporter for very-long-chain fatty acids.

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.

MicroRNA and metabolomics signatures for adrenomyeloneuropathy disease severity
Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), the slow progressive phenotype of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), has no clinical plasma biomarker for disease progression. This feasibility study aimed to determine whether metabolomics and micro‐RNA in blood plasma provide a ...
