Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is characterised by wide phenotypic variation, and there is no marker to predict the onset of cerebral demyelination. The indications for therapeutic approaches depend largely on the onset of cerebral demyelination. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the brain spectroscopic pattern in normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) in patients with various phenotypes of ALD to determine if these...
