Adrenoleukodystrophy - neuroendocrine pathogenesis and redefinition of natural history

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment of X-Linked adrenoleukodystrophy is described, and gaps in the knowledge of the natural history of the disease are highlighted owing to an absence of large-scale prospective cohort studies.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy in women: a cross-sectional cohort study

TL;DR: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy carriers develop an adrenomyeloneuropathy-like phenotype and there is a strong association between symptomatic status and age, and ABCD1 mutation analysis deserves a place in diagnostic protocols for chronic non-compressive myelopathy.

Adrenoleukodystrophy Increased plasma content of saturated very long chain fatty acids

TL;DR: With a new method, saturated very long chain fatty acids in the plasma of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) hemizygotes, ALD heterozygotes, and controls are measured, showing increased levels of hexacosanoate (C26 fatty acid) which represented 0.081 ± 0.0066% of total fatty acids.

Plasma very long chain fatty acids in 3,000 peroxisome disease patients and 29,000 controls

TL;DR: VLCFA levels were increased in all patients homozygous for Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum's disease, and in patients with deficiencies of peroxisomal acyl‐coenzyme A oxidase, bifunctional enzyme, and 3‐oxoacyl‐coENzyme A thiolase.

Adrenoleukodystrophy: Incidence, new mutation rate, and results of extended family screening

TL;DR: Diagnostic tests should be offered to all at‐risk relatives of X‐ALD patients and should include members of the extended family, because identification of heterozygotes provides the opportunity for disease prevention through genetic counseling.
