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) 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 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 (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 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
