Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and adrenal glands. It is caused by a mutation in the ABCD1 gene, which leads to the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids in the body. This buildup can damage the myelin sheath, the protective covering of nerve fibers, resulting in neurological problems. Symptoms of ALD can vary widely and may include behavioral changes, difficulty in walking, and vision problems. The condition primarily affects males, with symptoms typically appearing in childhood or early adulthood. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing the disease and improving quality of life.
