Never Late: Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis and Improvements in Neurocognitive Functions in an Adult Patient on Chenodeoxycholic Acid Treatment. [PDF]

Clin Genet
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is due to biallelic pathogenic variants in CYP27A1. We report a new patient and his good neurocognitive outcome on the chenodeoxycholic acid treatment despite therapy starting at the age of 34 years. This highlights the importance of recognizing treatable inherited metabolic diseases at any age.
