Abstract excerpt
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common inherited leukodystrophy. Nevertheless, no genotype-phenotype correlation has been established so far. Unidentified modifier genes or other cofactors are suspected to modulate phenotype and prognosis. We recently described polymorphisms of methionine metabolism as possible disease modifiers in X-ALD. To retest these findings, we analyzed 172 new DNA samples...
