Adrenoleukodystrophy

INTRODUCTION

Adrenoleukodystrophy disorder is a genetic disorder, following the X-linked inheritance. It is known as paroxysmal disorder because of abnormal metabolism of fatty acid known as very-long-chain fatty acid. The fatality rate is too high because of the severity of the disease and the prognosis is poor. When the mutation starts then Very long-chain fatty acids levels are elevated and it reduces fatty acids oxidation. Vision loss, learning disabilities, difficulty while swallowing, seizures, headache, progressive hearing loss, lack of coordination and balance, vomiting, weight loss etc are some of the symptoms of Adrenoleukodystrophy disease. Mutation of ABCD1 gene, build up of fatty acid in adrenal gland etc are some of the cause of Adrenoleukodystrophy disorder. Only symptomatic treatment is there and no proper treatment that means permanent cure is there.
