Abstract excerpt
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited peroxisomal disorder. The gene associated with X-ALD, ABCD1, encodes a peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette half-transporter. In this study, we describe the molecular characterization of 21 affected Portuguese families. The complete coding region of the ABCD1 gene was amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or genomic...
