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 The most severely affected tissues are the myelin in the central nervous system, the adrenal cortex, and the Leydig cells in the testes
