Peroxisomes are subcellular organelles that play a central role in human physiology by
catalyzing a range of unique metabolic functions. The importance of peroxisomes for human …

Abstract X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder.
The disease is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal …

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a severe brain demyelinating disease in boys that
is caused by a deficiency in ALD protein, an adenosine triphosphate–binding cassette …

Background In X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, mutations in ABCD1 lead to loss of function
of the ALD protein. Cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy is characterized by demyelination and …

X-Linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a peroxisomal metabolic disorder with a highly
complex clinical presentation. ALD is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which leads …

A comprehensive review of published literature was conducted to elucidate the genetics,
neuropathology, imaging findings, prevalence, clinical course, diagnosis/clinical evaluation …

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most frequent peroxisomal disease. The two
main clinical phenotypes of X-ALD are adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and inflammatory …

Abstract 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 …

Cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a disorder of very-long-chain fatty acid
metabolism, adrenal insufficiency, and cerebral demyelination. Death occurs within 2 to 5 …

Cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) remains a devastating neurodegenerative disease;
only allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been shown to provide long …
