Abstract

The phenotypic expression of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) ranges from the rapidly progressive childhood cerebral form to the milder adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) in adults. It is not possible to predict phenotype by mutation analysis or biochemical assays. This study reports on 372 patients r...
