Abstract excerpt
Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and cerebral childhood adrenoleukodystrophy (CCALD) are the main phenotypic variants of an X-linked inherited metabolic disorder causing demyelination, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD). It is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 (ALD) gene encoding a peroxisomal ABC transporter. Inactivation of the murine ALD gene does not lead to a detectable clinical phenotype in mice up to 6...
