X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a peroxisomal disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene and characterized by impaired very long-chain fatty acid beta-oxidation. Clinically, male patients develop adrenal failure and progressive myelopathy in adulthood, although the age of onset and rate of progression are highly variable. In addition, 40% of male patients develop a leukodystrophy (cerebral ALD) before the age of 18 years. Women with ALD also develop myelopathy, but generally at a later age than men and with slower progression. Adrenal failure and leukodystrophy are exceedingly rare in women. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), or more recently autologous HCT with ex vivo lentivirally transfected bone marrow, halts the leukodystrophy. Unfortunately, there is no curative treatment for the myelopathy. In this chapter, clinical spectrum of ALD is discussed in detail.
期刊介绍：
The Handbook of Clinical Neurology (HCN) was originally conceived and edited by Pierre Vinken and George Bruyn as a prestigious, multivolume reference work that would cover all the disorders encountered by clinicians and researchers engaged in neurology and allied fields. The first series of the Handbook (Volumes 1-44) was published between 1968 and 1982 and was followed by a second series (Volumes 45-78), guided by the same editors, which concluded in 2002. By that time, the Handbook had come to represent one of the largest scientific works ever published. In 2002, Professors Michael J. Aminoff, François Boller, and Dick F. Swaab took on the responsibility of supervising the third (current) series, the first volumes of which published in 2003. They have designed this series to encompass both clinical neurology and also the basic and clinical neurosciences that are its underpinning. Given the enormity and complexity of the accumulating literature, it is almost impossible to keep abreast of developments in the field, thus providing the raison d''être for the series. The series will thus appeal to clinicians and investigators alike, providing to each an added dimension. Now, more than 140 volumes after it began, the Handbook of Clinical Neurology series has an unparalleled reputation for providing the latest information on fundamental research on the operation of the nervous system in health and disease, comprehensive clinical information on neurological and related disorders, and up-to-date treatment protocols.
