X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy: The Australasian experience

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A, 1998
Our objective was to review the Australasian experience of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), to compare the spectrum of disease seen in Australasia with previously published data from elsewhere, and to assess the reliability of carrier testing. Study design was a retrospective review of records collected over a 15-year period, the setting was an ...

X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy with olivopontocerebellar atrophy

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neurology, 2005
X‐linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X‐ALD) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by adrenal, gonadal and nervous system dysfunction. Patients usually develop spinal cord degeneration with involvement of the cerebral white matter. While a spinocerebellar variant has been described, the selective involvement of cerebellar white matter is very rare. We

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy in women: a cross-sectional cohort study

open access: yesBrain, 2014
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is the most common peroxisomal disorder. The disease is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal transporter of very long-chain fatty acids.

Imaging in X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy

Neuropediatrics, 2021
AbstractMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the gold standard for the detection of cerebral lesions in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). ALD is one of the most common peroxisomal disorders and is characterized by a defect in degradation of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), resulting in accumulation of VLCFA in plasma and tissues.

X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy: Pathogenesis and Treatment

open access: yesCurrent Neurology and Neuroscience Reports, 2014
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a puzzling inborn error of metabolism with a strikingly heterogeneous clinical spectrum. All patients have mutations in the ABCD1 gene and accumulate very long chain fatty acids in all tissues.

X‐Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1996
To the Editor: I read with interest the article by Marris et al. [1] on X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) presenting as pure familial spastic paraparesis (FSP) and made a few comments. In the Introduction, the authors state that pure spastic paraparesis as a manifestation of a genetically determined disorder may be pathologically characterized by ...

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy

Nature Clinical Practice Neurology, 2007
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is caused by a defect in the gene ABCD1, which maps to Xq28 and codes for a peroxisomal membrane protein that is a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter superfamily. X-ALD is panethnic and affects approximately 1:20,000 males.
