NALD is an inheritable disorder that affects the adrenal glands, the white matter of the brain and the testes. Some of the symptoms for this disorder include seizures, hyperactivity, crossed eyes, paralysis, hearing loss, and muscular weakness. Adrenoleukodystrophy describes any of several closely related inheritable disorders that involve the breakdown (metabolism) of certain fats (long chain fatty acids). These disorders affect the adrenal glands, nervous system, and testes. |
| Adrenoleukodystrophy is transmitted as an X-linked trait (the neonatal form is by autosomal recessive transmission). It affects approximately 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 50,000 individuals from all races. It results in the accumulation of long chain fatty acids in the nervous system, adrenal gland, and testes, which disrupts normal activity. There are seven recognizedforms of the disease. The neonatal form appears shortly after birth and includes seizures and delayed neurological development, with death occurring in infancy or young childhood.
