Newborn Screening for X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD): Biochemical, Molecular, and Clinical Characteristics of Other Genetic Conditions. [PDF]
The state of California (CA) added X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) to newborn screening (NBS) in 2016 via the measurement of C26:0-lysophosphatidylcholine (C26:0-LPC) in a two-tier fashion, followed by sequencing of the ABCD1 gene. This has resulted in the identification of individuals with genetic conditions beyond X-ALD that can also result in ...

Phosphatidylcholine with C26:0 moiety, a precursor of a diagnostic marker for X-ALD, is synthesized by LPLAT10/LPEAT2. [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a congenital metabolic disorder characterized mainly by inflammatory demyelination and adrenal insufficiency. Newborn screening using hexacosanoyl lysophosphatidylcholine (C26:0-LPC) in dried blood spots as a diagnostic marker can successfully identify potential patients with X-ALD and prevent disease onset. C26:

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and primary adrenal insufficiency
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD; OMIM:300100) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by a congenital defect in the ATP-binding cassette transporters sub-family D member 1 gene (ABCD1) producing adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP ...

Visual loss as first clinical manifestation of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) represents a group of diseases characterized by the accumulation of very long chain fattyacids (VLCFAs) in the tissues. Its clinical manifestations are usually manifold.
