Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy Adrenoleukodystrophy Definition: Adrenoleukodystrophy describes any of several closely related inheritable disorders of the breakdown ( metabolism ) of certain fats (long chain fatty acids). These disorders affect the adrenal glands , nervous system, and testes Alternative Names: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy; Melanodermic leukodystrophy; Neonatal adrenoleukodyrstophy; NALD Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Adrenoleukodystrophy is transmitted as an X-linked trait (the neonatal form is by autosomal recessive transmission). It affects approximately 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 50,000 individuals from all races. It results in the accumulation of long chain fatty acids in the nervous system, adrenal gland, and testes, which disrupts normal activity. There are several (seven recognized) different forms of the disease. The neonatal form appears shortly after birth and includes seizures and delayed neurological development with death occurring in infancy or young childhood. The childhood cerebral form appears in mid-childhood (at 4-8 years), and the other forms appear during adolescence. About one-third of affected people develop neurological symptoms and about half develop abnormal adrenal function. In the childhood form, early symptoms include

It is characterized by progressive dysfunction of the adrenal gland and demyelination of nerve cells in the brain due to impaired peroxisomal function. Peroxisomes are intracellular organelles that contain enzymes necessary for lipid metabolism.1 Adrenoleukodystrophy encompasses 2 rare and distinct genetic disorders, X-linked ALD (an X-linked recessive disorder) and neonatal ALD (an autosomal recessive disorder). In both forms of ALD, high levels of very long chain fatty acids accumulate in various organs due to the absence of peroxisomes. This accumulation is most severe in the brain and adrenal glands, and results in a variety of neurologic problems and endocrine dysfunction.

Click on small image to see full size. Adrenoleukodystrophy Findings: Axial CT images show patchy diffuse posterior white matter hypodensity. Multiple MR images show predominant signal abnormalities in the parieto-occipital white matter and splenium of corpus callosum with symmetric enhancement along the periphery. The signal abnormalities extend into the brainstem. Differential Diagnosis: The signal characteristics are most consistent with ADL. Globoid cell leukodystrophy may also have predominant abnormalities in the parietal regions, but this characteristic enhancement pattern would be unusual. MS and ADEM could rarely have this appearance, and would not likely be this symmetric. Discussion: ADL represents a deficiency of lignoceroyl CoA ligase, with accumulation of very long chain fatty acids in brain, adrenals, and blood elements. It is inherited as x-linked recesive or autosomal recessive. Pathologically, there is demyelination which advances in zones, with the peripheral zone showing no inflammatory response. The intermediate zone has active demyelination and inflammatory response, with the inner zone showing necrosis, gliosis, and possible calcification. Numerous phenotypes exist, the most common of which has clinical onset between 5-10 years, with rapidly progressive neurologic decline and death. Imaging features include symmetric posterior white matter involvement including the splenium, with a rind of enhancement along the advancing edges. reference: Osborn, A; Tong, K.

Aderenoleukodrystrophy (ALD) is a genetic disorder which affects the adrenal gland and white matter of the nervous system. It affects males only and develops in boys between the ages of 4 and 10. The Adrenoleukodystrophy Family Support Trust was set up by parents of a boy with ALD. It works to raise funds for ALD research to find a cure for this life threatening disease. In addition it offers help to ALD sufferers and their families including offering professional babysitters and carers to give the family relief. The ALD Family Support Trust provides information packs and equipment and caring support to sufferers and their families. The Trust's aims and activities include the following. To further medical research into ALD. To make grants and allowances for the purposes of medical treatment and care of children suffering from ALD. To educate the public about ALD, and to put parents of such children into contact with each other for their mutual support and benefit.

Community Advisor Search Send to a friend Home  Diseases, Conditions and Injuries Adrenoleukodystrophy by Rick Alan Definition Causes Risk Factors ... Organizations Definition Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare inherited genetic disorder. ALD results in degeneration of: The fatty insulation covering on nerve fibers in the brain (myelin sheath) The adrenal gland There are several types of ALD. The two most common types are: X-linked (also called child-onset ALD) and neonatal. Causes ALD is caused by an inherited defective gene on the X chromosome, and is therefore called a “sex-linked” inherited disorder. In people with ALD, the body's enzymes do not properly break down fatty acids. This results in an accumulation of high levels of saturated fatty acids in the brain and the adrenal cortex, which causes degeneration of the myelin sheath (which covers the nerves) and the adrenal gland. Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chances of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for ALD include: Having a mother who carries the defective ALD gene Age: Childhood Sex: Male Symptoms Symptoms can vary within the types of ALD.
