Regulation of lipid and redox metabolism in X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD): therapeutic implications [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a rare neurometabolic disease characterized by the loss of function of the peroxisomal transporter ABCD1, which leads to an accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA), inducing the production of mitochondrial reactive oxygen species.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD): clinical presentation and guidelines for diagnosis, follow-up and management [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder. The disease is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal membrane protein ALDP which is involved in the transmembrane transport of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA; ≥ C22). A defect in ALDP results in elevated levels of VLCFA in plasma and tissues.

Genetic variants of methionine metabolism and X-ALD phenotype generation: results of a new study sample [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited leukodystrophy. Nevertheless, no genotype-phenotype correlation has been established so far. Unidentified modifier genes or other cofactors are suspected to modulate phenotype and prognosis.

The role of inflammatory mediators in the pathophysiology of X‐ALD disease [PDF]
CER is the most frequent clinical phenotype of the defective X‐ALD (ALD; ABCD1) gene, which results in accumulation of VLCFAs (in plasma, brain, adrenal glands and testis), inflammatory demyelination and subsequent death in children. To understand the inflammatory mediators that play a role in the neuropathology of CER, we studied mRNA expressions of ...

Adrenoleukodystrophy Newborn Screening in the Netherlands (SCAN Study): The X-Factor
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a devastating metabolic disorder affecting the adrenal glands, brain and spinal cord. Males with ALD are at high risk for developing adrenal insufficiency or progressive cerebral white matter lesions (cerebral ALD ...

Novel Gene Mutation in a Korean Patient with X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy Presenting with Addison's Disease [PDF]
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) occurs due to mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal membrane protein peroxisomal transporter ATP-binding cassette sub-family D member 1 (ABCD1).
