May 25th, 2022 - X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is one of the most frequent inborn error of metabolism caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which codes for the transporter of saturated very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) for peroxisomal degradation, thus ...

May 17th, 2022 - Progressive weakness and spasticity of the legs are characteristics of numerous disorders and conditions, including those that are inherited neurological disorders. Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) is an example of an inherited form of spastic parapleg...

Jun 13th, 2022 - A US Food and Drug Administration advisory committee gave a unanimous thumbs up to two new gene therapies: betibeglogene autotemcel (beti-cel) for the treatment of a blood disorder, transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia; and elivaldogene autotemc...

Apr 8th, 2022 - Restless legs syndrome occurred in approximately 40% of adults with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, based on data from 32 individuals. Dr John Winkelman Patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), a neurodegenerative disease, often experienc...
