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.

Role of MRI in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy—A case report
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare inherited peroxisomal disorder that occurs due to a genetic mutation. This mutation impairs normal transport of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) into peroxisomes, hence impeding VLCFA breakdown leading to its ...

Evidence of Iron Accumulation in Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy: A Potential Novel Disease Mechanism
ABSTRACT In this first application of Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Source Separation to cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, we uncovered alterations in iron and myelin within lesions and normal appearing white matter. As validation, we demonstrate abnormal iron accumulation in those same compartments within primary brain tissue.

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.
