Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a disease linked to the X chromosome It is a result of fatty acid buildup caused by failure of peroxisomal fatty acid beta oxidation which results in the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in tissues throughout the body
- Adrenoleukodystrophy - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
In adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), your body can't break down very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), causing saturated VLCFA s to build up in your brain, nervous system and adrenal gland The most common type of ALD is X-linked ALD, which is caused by a genetic defect on the X chromosome

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a genetic condition that damages the membrane (myelin sheath) that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord Myelin acts as insulation around the nerve fibers
- Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD): Causes, Types, Symptoms, Prognosis - WebMD
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ADL) is a genetic condition in which your body is unable to break down a type of fatty acid called VLCFAs, which build up in the brain, nervous system, and adrenal glands

Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and adrenal glands Except for neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, it is an X-linked recessive disorder, primarily affecting males, while females can be carriers

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a genetic disorder It affects the nervous system and adrenal glands ALD symptoms include behavioral changes

Summary X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a genetic disease that affects the brain and the adrenal glands (small glands located on top of each kidney) It is caused by variations in the ABCD1 gene that lead to an inability to break down very long–chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) which can accumulate in the brain and adrenal glands

What is adrenoleukodystrophy? Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic condition that affects males and females differently In childhood, boys are primarily affected Girls are not typically affected, though they may develop symptoms as adults
