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 - Wikipedia
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 (ALD) - Johns Hopkins Medicine
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
- ALD: Adrenoleukodystrophy, Disease, X-Linked - Cleveland Clinic
Adrenoleukodystrophy, ALD, is a genetic disorder connected to the X chromosome It affects the nervous system and adrenal glands Symptoms of ALD often include behavioral and cognitive changes
- Adrenoleukodystrophy | About the Disease | GARD - Genetic and Rare . . .
Adrenoleukodystrophy is caused by genetic mutations, also known as pathogenic variants Genetic mutations can be hereditary, when parents pass them down to their children, or they may occur randomly when cells are dividing
- X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy - Symptoms, Causes, Treatment - NORD
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the white matter of the nervous system and the adrenal cortex White matter is made up of nerve fibers called axons that relay nerve impulses from one cell to another
