A Complex Chromosomal Abberation Called Adrenoleukodystrophy

Delveinsight

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD/ X-ALD) is a rare, X-linked disorder secondary to a mutation in the ABCD1 gene, which encodes for a peroxisomal membrane protein, resulting in an excessive accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in the brain and adrenal glands. A novel, brain penetrant, orally bioavailable and selective PPAR?
