Poorly formed aggregates and reduced levels of spores were apparent in the DZ2 aldA mutant, even after prolonged development.
2
These data indicate that DMSP-ald is an intermediate in DMSP biosynthesis and that the other three compounds are not.
3
Although different X-ALD phenotypes are recognized, little is known about their evolution.
4
However, the mechanisms underlying the brain damage in X-ALD are poorly known.
5
Watch the ALD descend into the belly of the Rosalind Franklin rover.
1
The childhood-onset cerebral form of adrenoleukodystrophy has a devastating neurologic prognosis.
2
A young male patient with adrenoleukodystrophy progressed from the frontal to the parieto-occipital region was reported.
3
Background and purpose: Outcomes following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for higher risk childhood-onset cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy are variable.
4
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the myelin of the nervous system and the adrenal cortex.
5
Conclusions: Gadolinium enhancement intensity on brain MR imaging can be scored simply and reproducibly for cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy.

Although different X-ALD phenotypes are recognized, little is known about their evolution.
2
However, the mechanisms underlying the brain damage in X-ALD are poorly known.
3
It is therefore proposed that oxidative stress may be involved in pathophysiology of X-ALD.
4
In this review we report a detailed analysis of all 406 X-ALD mutations currently included in the database.
5
Diagnostic tests should be offered to all at-risk relatives of X-ALD patients and should include members of the extended family.

Technically known as X-linked ALD, it affects boys, typically starting in childhood and killing them in two to three years.

Pathologic explanation of the roentgenographically identified diffuse sclerosis in ES has not been previously well documented in the medical literature.
1
Multislice proton MRSI may be a suitable technique for the prediction of lesion progression on MRI in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
2
So far PGD has been carried out for three carrier females at risk of transmitting X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, X-linked hydrocephalus and hemophilia A.
3
Magnetic resonance imaging sequences such as diffusion and spectroscopy have been well studied in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, but no data exist on magnetic resonance perfusion imaging.

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a neurodegenerative disorder affecting the myelin of the nervous system and the adrenal cortex.
