Activity Description

Adrenoleukodystrophy is a peroxisomal disorder resulting from abnormal metabolism of the very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA). It is classified into different subtypes based on the mode of inheritance, clinical presentation, age of onset, and organs involved. The prognosis is poor, and the majority of affected patients will develop neurological disabilities and death. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, evaluation, management, and prognosis of the different adrenoleukodystrophy types and highlights the new updates about the diagnosis and treatment options that are available or under investigation for this condition.

There is a sentence that does not make sense in one of the first parts of describing the natural history for a patient with X-linked ALD. The sentence has a duplicated phrase that reappears at the end of the sentence and does not make sense in that order in the sentence. For example, the phrase says something like "death, followed by" other complications of the illness.
