Adrenoleukodystrophy: An X-linked recessive disorder characterized by the accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids in the LYSOSOMES of ADRENAL CORTEX and the white matter of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. This disease occurs almost exclusively in the males. Clinical features include the childhood onset of ATAXIA; NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HYPERPIGMENTATION; ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY; SEIZURES; MUSCLE SPASTICITY; and DEMENTIA. The slowly progressive adult form is called adrenomyeloneuropathy. The defective gene ABCD1 is located at Xq28, and encodes the adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ATP-BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTERS).Diffuse Cerebral Sclerosis of Schilder: A rare central nervous system demyelinating condition affecting children and young adults. Pathologic findings include a large, sharply defined, asymmetric focus of myelin destruction that may involve an entire lobe or cerebral hemisphere. The clinical course tends to be progressive and includes dementia, cortical blindness, cortical deafness, spastic hemiplegia, and pseudobulbar palsy. Concentric sclerosis of Balo is differentiated from diffuse cerebral sclerosis of Schilder by the pathologic finding of alternating bands of destruction and preservation of myelin in concentric rings. Alpers' Syndrome refers to a heterogeneous group of diseases that feature progressive cerebral deterioration and liver disease.

Peroxisomal enzymatic abnormalities may be single or multiple. Biosynthetic peroxisomal pathways are compromised, including the ability to synthesize ether lipids and to oxidize long-chain fatty acid precursors. Diseases in this category include ZELLWEGER SYNDROME; INFANTILE REFSUM DISEASE; rhizomelic chondrodysplasia (CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA, RHIZOMELIC); hyperpipecolic acidemia; neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy; and ADRENOLEUKODYSTROPHY (X-linked). Neurologic dysfunction is a prominent feature of most peroxisomal disorders.Zellweger Syndrome: An autosomal recessive disorder due to defects in PEROXISOME biogenesis which involves more than 13 genes encoding peroxin proteins of the peroxisomal membrane and matrix. Zellweger syndrome is typically seen in the neonatal period with features such as dysmorphic skull; MUSCLE HYPOTONIA; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; visual compromise; SEIZURES; progressive degeneration of the KIDNEYS and the LIVER. Zellweger-like syndrome refers to phenotypes resembling the neonatal Zellweger syndrome but seen in children or adults with apparently intact peroxisome biogenesis.ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters: A family of MEMBRANE TRANSPORT PROTEINS that require ATP hydrolysis for the transport of substrates across membranes. The protein family derives its name from the ATP-binding domain found on the protein.Microbodies: Electron-dense cytoplasmic particles bounded by a single membrane, such as PEROXISOMES; GLYOXYSOMES; and glycosomes.Peroxisomes: Microbodies which occur in animal and plant cells and in certain fungi and protozoa. They contain peroxidase, catalase, and allied enzymes. (From Singleton and Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2nd ed)Fatty Acids: Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED). (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed)X Chromosome: The female sex chromosome, being the differential sex chromosome carried by half the male gametes and all female gametes in human and other male-heterogametic species.Triolein: (Z)-9-Octadecenoic acid 1,2,3-propanetriyl ester.Sex Chromosome Aberrations: Abnormal number or structure of the SEX CHROMOSOMES. Some sex chromosome aberrations are associated with SEX CHROMOSOME DISORDERS and SEX CHROMOSOME DISORDERS OF SEX DEVELOPMENT.Addison Disease: An adrenal disease characterized by the progressive destruction of the ADRENAL CORTEX, resulting in insufficient production of ALDOSTERONE and HYDROCORTISONE. Clinical symptoms include ANOREXIA; NAUSEA; WEIGHT LOSS; MUSCLE WEAKNESS; and HYPERPIGMENTATION of the SKIN due to increase in circulating levels of ACTH precursor hormone which stimulates MELANOCYTES.Brain Diseases, Metabolic: Acquired or inborn metabolic diseases that produce brain dysfunction or damage. These include primary (i.e., disorders intrinsic to the brain) and secondary (i.e., extracranial) metabolic conditions that adversely affect cerebral function.Refsum Disease: An autosomal recessive familial disorder that usually presents in childhood with POLYNEUROPATHY; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; ICHTHYOSIS; ATAXIA; RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA; and CARDIOMYOPATHIES. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1991, Ch37, p58-9; Rev Med Interne 1996;17(5):391-8) This condition can be caused by mutation in the genes encoding peroxisomal phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase or proteins associated peroxisomal membrane, leading to impaired catabolism of PHYTANIC ACID in PEROXISOMES.Coenzyme A Ligases: Enzymes that catalyze the formation of acyl-CoA derivatives. EC 6.2.1.Chondrodysplasia Punctata: A heterogeneous group of bone dysplasias, the common character of which is stippling of the epiphyses in infancy. The group includes a severe autosomal recessive form (CHONDRODYSPLASIA PUNCTATA, RHIZOMELIC), an autosomal dominant form (Conradi-Hunermann syndrome), and a milder X-linked form. Metabolic defects associated with impaired peroxisomes are present only in the rhizomelic form.Lipid Metabolism, Inborn Errors: Errors in the metabolism of LIPIDS resulting from inborn genetic MUTATIONS that are heritable.Fibroblasts: Connective tissue cells which secrete an extracellular matrix rich in collagen and other macromolecules.Color Vision Defects: Defects of color vision are mainly hereditary traits but can be secondary to acquired or developmental abnormalities in the CONES (RETINA). Severity of hereditary defects of color vision depends on the degree of mutation of the ROD OPSINS genes (on X CHROMOSOME and CHROMOSOME 3) that code the photopigments for red, green and blue.Genetic Linkage: The co-inheritance of two or more non-allelic GENES due to their being located more or less closely on the same CHROMOSOME.Acyl-CoA Oxidase: An enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-determining steps of peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids.

Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM.

Adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein can compensate functionally for adrenoleukodystrophy protein deficiency (X-ALD): implications for therapy. (1/213)

Inherited defects in the peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP) lead to the lethal peroxisomal disorder X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), for which no efficient treatment has been established so far. Three other peroxisomal ABC transporters currently are known: adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein (ALDRP), 70 kDa peroxisomal membrane protein (PMP70) and PMP70- related protein. By using transient and stable overexpression of human cDNAs encoding ALDP and its closest relative ALDRP, we could restore the impaired peroxisomal beta-oxidation in fibroblasts of X-ALD patients. The pathognomonic accumulation of very long chain fatty acids could also be prevented by overexpression of ALDRP in immortalized X-ALD cells. Immunofluorescence analysis demonstrated that the functional replacement of ALDP by ALDRP was not due to stabilization of the mutated ALDP itself. Moreover, we were able to restore the peroxisomal beta-oxidation defect in the liver of ALDP-deficient mice by stimulation of ALDRP and PMP70 gene expression through a dietary treatment with the peroxisome proliferator fenofibrate. These results suggest that a correction of the biochemical defect in X-ALD could be possible by drug-induced overexpression or ectopic expression of ALDRP.  (+info)

Retroviral-mediated adrenoleukodystrophy-related gene transfer corrects very long chain fatty acid metabolism in adrenoleukodystrophy fibroblasts: implications for therapy. (2/213)

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system with an impaired very long chain fatty acid metabolism. The adrenoleukodystrophy gene encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein that is part of a family of related ATP-binding transporters including the adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein. The adrenoleukodystrophy protein and adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein show 66% identity and have a mirror expression in most mouse tissues. We show that retroviral-mediated adrenoleukodystrophy-related gene transfer corrects very long chain fatty acid accumulation in adrenoleukodystrophy fibroblasts, irrespective of the presence or absence of adrenoleukodystrophy protein. Pharmacological approaches aiming at overexpressing the adrenoleukodystrophy-related gene in the central nervous system of adrenoleukodystrophy patients might thus offer new therapeutic leads.  (+info)

Beyond the disorder: one parent's reflection on genetic counselling. (3/213)

As a mother of two sons with adrenoleukodystrophy the author of this paper writes about her experiences of genetic counselling following the diagnosis. She discusses the dilemmas, emotions and aftermath this knowledge has brought to her family and the roles she played. Personal concerns are raised about the values guiding genetic counselling which, she found, focused on the technical details without considering the ethical implications arising from the new knowledge or the emotional dilemmas of prenatal testing. Some consequences of choice and the value of hope are discussed. She concludes by challenging genetic counsellors to deliver a service which not only provides technical information but is cognisant of the ethical considerations this information may foist upon a family.  (+info)

Preventing neurodegeneration in the Drosophila mutant bubblegum. (4/213)

The Drosophila melanogaster recessive mutant bubblegum (bgm) exhibits adult neurodegeneration, with marked dilation of photoreceptor axons. The bubblegum mutant shows elevated levels of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), as seen in the human disease adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). In ALD, the excess can be lowered by dietary treatment with "Lorenzo's oil," a mixture of unsaturated fatty acids. Feeding the fly mutant one of the components, glyceryl trioleate oil, blocked the accumulation of excess VLCFAs as well as development of the pathology. Mutant flies thus provide a potential model system for studying mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease and screening drugs for treatment.  (+info)

Progression of abnormalities in adrenomyeloneuropathy and neurologically asymptomatic X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy despite treatment with "Lorenzo's oil". (5/213)

OBJECTIVES: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited disorder of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation, biochemically characterised by the accumulation of saturated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), particularly hexacosanoic acid (C26:0). Dietary treatment with a 4:1 mixture of glyceroltrioleate and glyceroltrierucate ("Lorenzo's oil") normalises plasma VLCFA concentrations, but neither ameliorates nor arrests the rapid progression of neurological symptoms in the cerebral variants of X-ALD. The efficacy of "Lorenzo's oil" in the milder phenotypes of X-ALD was assessed, as this has been much less investigated. METHODS: Twenty two patients who were treated with "Lorenzo's oil" for at least 12 months for a median period of 2.5 (range 1.0-6.0) years were studied. Two had asymptomatic ALD, four the "Addison only" variant, 13 adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), and three were symptomatic female carriers. RESULTS: The plasma C26:0 concentration normalised or near normalised in 19 patients (86%), in the three others it decreased significantly. Nevertheless, disability as measured with the extended disability status scale score increased mildly (0.5 (95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.25-1.0)) in the 16 patients with neurological symptoms. Furthermore, one "Addison only" patient and one patient with AMN developed cerebral demyelination, and another "Addison only" patient developed AMN. Adrenocortical insufficiency evolved in one patient with AMN, and hypogonadism in one patient with asymptomatic ALD and two patients with AMN. Nerve conduction, evoked potential studies (SEP, BAEP, VEP), and abnormalities on cerebral MRI did not improve. On the other hand, side effects were often noted-namely, mild increases in liver enzymes (55%), thrombocytopenia (55%), gastrointestinal complaints (14%), and gingivitis (14%). We also found a mild decrease in haemoglobin concentration and leucocyte count. CONCLUSIONS: The data suggest that treatment with "Lorenzo's oil" neither improved neurological or endocrine function nor arrested progression of the disease. Furthermore, the oil often induced adverse effects. Therefore, it is advocated that "Lorenzo's oil" should not be prescribed routinely to patients with X-ALD who already have neurological deficits.  (+info)

Immunological reconstitution and correlation of circulating serum inflammatory mediators/cytokines with the incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease during the first 100 days following unrelated umbilical cord blood transplantation. (6/213)

We investigated early immunological reconstitution and the production of circulating inflammatory mediators and their relationship to aGVHD in children during the first 100 days following unrelated UCBT. Nine patients had an underlying malignant disease (ALL, ANLL), and two, non-malignant diseases (SAA, ALD). The median age was 10 years (range: 1.25-21). Seven of 11 patients were alive by day 100, two died from regimen-related toxicity, and two died from severe aGVHD (grade >/=III). Myeloid engraftment (ANC >/=500/mm3 x 2 days) occurred at a median of 24 days (range: 14-55), while platelet engraftment (platelet count >/=20 000/mm3 untransfused x 7 days) was delayed and occurred at a median of 52 days (range: 33-95). The mean cell dose of CD34+ cells was 3.3 +/- 3.51 x 10(5)/kg, and of CD34+/CD41+ cells was 3.94 +/- 3.99 x 10(4)/kg. Acute GVHD (grade II-IV) developed in seven patients (77%), and severe aGVHD (grade III-IV) developed in five patients (55%). Serum levels of IL-2Ralpha, IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-12, and IFNgamma were not significantly different between patients with grades 0-I aGVHD and patients with grades II-IV aGVHD. Evaluation of immunological reconstitution on day 90 post UCBT demonstrated an early recovery of the absolute numbers of B cells (CD19+) and NK cells (CD3-/CD56+). Immunoglobulin levels for IgG, IgM and IgA remained normal throughout the study period. PMN functional studies demonstrated normal superoxide generation, bacterial killing (BK), and chemotaxis (CTX). However, both helper (CD3+/CD4+) and suppressor (CD3+/CD8+) T cell subsets remained low during the first 100 days post UCBT with mean +/- s.e.m. values of 120 +/- 29/mm3 and 10 +/- 50/mm3, respectively (normal = 900-2860/mm3 (CD3/CD4), normal = 630-1910/mm3 (CD3/CD8)). Mitogen response studies showed low blastogenesis to PHA and PWM, with a mean c.p.m. +/- s.e.m. value of 1.7 +/- 0.67 x 10(4) for PHA (NL >/= 75 x 10(3)) and 8.42 +/- 4.1 x 10(3) for PWM (NL >/=25 x 10(3)). In conclusion, serum levels of inflammatory mediators were not predictive nor did they correlate with the severity of aGVHD. Recovery of NK cells, B cells, and PMN functions occurred within the first 90 days post transplant. However, T cell subsets, CD3+/CD4+ and CD3+/CD8+, and T cell functional activity remained significantly decreased and may account for the high incidence of infectious morbidity seen during this immediate post UCBT period.  (+info)

Homo- and heterodimerization of peroxisomal ATP-binding cassette half-transporters. (7/213)

Mammalian peroxisomal proteins adrenoleukodystrophy protein (ALDP), adrenoleukodystrophy-related protein (ALDRP), and 70-kDa peroxisomal protein (PMP70) belong to the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Unlike many ABC transporters that are single functional proteins with two related halves, ALDP, ALDRP, and PMP70 have the structure of ABC half-transporters. The dysfunction of ALDP is responsible for X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a neurodegenerative disorder in which saturated very long-chain fatty acids accumulate because of their impaired peroxisomal beta-oxidation. No disease has so far been associated with mutations of adrenoleukodystrophy-related or PMP70 genes. It has been proposed that peroxisomal ABC transporters need to dimerize to exert import functions. Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we show that homo- as well as heterodimerization occur between the carboxyl-terminal halves of ALDP, ALDRP, and PMP70. Two X-ALD disease mutations located in the carboxyl-terminal half of ALDP affect both homo- and heterodimerization of ALDP. Co-immunoprecipitation demonstrated the homodimerization of ALDP, the heterodimerization of ALDP with PMP70 or ALDRP, and the heterodimerization of ALDRP with PMP70. These results provide the first evidence of both homo- and heterodimerization of mammalian ABC half-transporters and suggest that the loss of ALDP dimerization plays a role in X-ALD pathogenesis.  (+info)

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy: the role of contrast-enhanced MR imaging in predicting disease progression. (8/213)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Early assignment of disease progression among patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is critical for the appropriate selection of effective therapy. We evaluated the association between contrast enhancement on T1-weighted spin-echo MR images and disease progression. METHODS: Clinical charts of patients with X-linked ALD were reviewed for age, availability of MR images of the brain, severity of neurologic impairment, and duration and number of follow-up evaluations. Forty-three male patients with X-linked ALD had undergone multiple MR imaging examinations of the brain that consisted of at least sagittal and axial T1-weighted spin-echo, axial double-echo spin-echo, and contrast-enhanced axial T1-weighted spin-echo imaging. The MR images were reviewed for the presence of contrast enhancement. In addition, global disease burden, as shown by the double-echo spin-echo images, was assessed using a visual scoring method (Loes score). RESULTS: Enhancement was seen on the initial T1-weighted spin-echo MR images of 21 (49%) patients; 18 (86%) of the 21 patients had disease progression revealed by the follow-up evaluations based on MR imaging (Loes) and neurologic scores. No enhancement was seen on the initial T1-weighted spin-echo MR images of 22 (51%) patients; for 18 (82%) of the 22 patients, no evidence of disease progression was revealed by the follow-up evaluations. CONCLUSION: There is a very strong association between the presence of contrast enhancement on T1-weighted MR images and X-linked ALD progression based on clinical evaluation and MR imaging.  (+info)

Mutations in the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) protein cause accumulation of unbranched saturated very-long-chain fatty acids, particularly in brain and adrenal cortex. In humans, the genetic defect causes progressive inflammatory demyelination in the brain, where very-long-chain fatty acids accumulate within phospholipid fractions such as lysophosphatidylcholine.To address mechanisms of inflammation, we studied microglial activation in human ALD (10 autopsies) and lysophosphatidylcholine (C24:0) injection into the parietal cortex of mice.Unexpectedly, we found a zone lacking microglia within perilesional white matter, immediately beyond the actively demyelinating lesion edge. Surrounding this zone we observed clusters of activated and apoptotic microglia within subcortical white matter. Lysophosphatidylcholine (C24:0) injection in mice led to widespread microglial activation and apoptosis.Our data suggest that the distinct mononuclear phagocytic cell response seen in cerebral X-ALD ...

Biochemical and cell biological aspects of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy  Biochemical and cell biological aspects of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a devastating peroxisomal disorder with only limited options for treatment. Recent findings however have pointed towards fatty acid elongation as a possible target for therapeutic intervention of X-ALD. Chapter 2 describes how bezafibrate reduces VLCFA levels in X-ALD fibroblasts by inhibiting fatty acid chain elongation. Based on these results, an open-label pilot study was performed to evaluate the effect of bezafibrate on VLCFA accumulation in blood cells of AMN patients. Unfortunately, bezafibrate failed to lower VLCFA levels in blood cells of X-ALD patients. Most likely this is attributable to its inability to reach adequate drug levels in vivo. In chapter 3 the kinetic characteristics of ELOVL1 and further investigation of the effect of fibrates on fatty acid chain elongation are described. This revealed that bezafibrate had the strongest effect in intact cells while the CoA-ester of gemfibrozil was the strongest inhibitor of VLCFA elongation activity in ...

Adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic condition that primarily affects males and leads to problems with the adrenal glands and the nervous system. The adrenal glands function to produce hormones and are located above the kidneys. There are multiple forms of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy that can be divided based on the symptoms that are present in any one particular patient. Childhood cerebral forms have an onset of ages 4-8 and symptoms include attention problems, poor school performance, difficulty in understanding speech, reading comprehension problems, clumsiness, and problems with eyesight. Children with this form may also have seizures and problems progress over time. The adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) form has symptoms often beginning in 20s-40s and symptoms include leg weakness, difficulties with digestion and sexual dysfunction that gets worse with time. Individuals with the Addison-disease-only type typically start showing symptoms in childhood that may include vomiting, weakness and changes ...

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a [sex-linked] progressive neurodegenerative disease, is caused by a defect in the ABCD1 gene. The disease is expressed in multiple ways, but the most common adult form is adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), which results in slowly progressive changes in muscle tone and weakness, sensory loss, and dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. In a previous study the investigators linked abnormalities in the [brain/spinal cord] to lower extremity weakness in men with AMN; however, there have been no studies evaluating these relationships in women carriers (i.e., women with AMN). It is unknown, in women with AMN, how the pattern of damage in the brain and spinal cord relates to disability and if these patterns predict responsiveness to treatment. The investigators hypothesize that by using magnetization transfer (MT) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modalities, to track particular changes in the brain and spinal cord will ...

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), is a rare, inherited disorder that leads to progressive brain damage, failure of the adrenal glands and eventually death. ALD is a disease in a group of genetic disorders called leukodystrophies. Adrenoleukodystrophy progressively damages the myelin sheath, a complex fatty neural tissue that insulates many nerves of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Without functional myelin, nerves are unable to aid in the conduction of an impulse, which leads to increasing disability.. click & see the pictures. Patients with X-linked ALD have defects in the ATP-binding cassette, sub-family D (ALD), member 1 transporter protein, which is encoded by the ABCD1 gene. The ABCD1 (aka ALDP) protein is indirectly involved in the break down of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) found in the normal diet. Lack of this protein can give rise to an over-accumulation of VLCFAs which can lead to damage to the brain, adrenal gland, and peripheral nervous system.. There are several ...

Adrenoleukodystrophy or ALD is an inborn error of the fat metabolism, which causes the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids (C26)in nearly all tissues in the body, especially in the brain and myelin sheath. In the severe childhood form of X-ALD (since it is linked to the X- Chromosome) inflammatory processes in the CNS take place thereby demyelineating nervous tissue leading to rapid deterioration and early death. In the aduld form - called Adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) there seems to be only demyelineation in the spine, leading to ataxia. Often misdiagnosed as Multiple Sclerosis! The Lorenzos Oil is a mixture of oleic acid and erucic acid and both are capable of normalizing the often drastically increased values of C26 in the blood. This is part of a diet which restricts ...

Very Long Chain Fatty Acids  Very Long Chain Fatty Acids
Peroxisomes play a vital role in several metabolic pathways, including the synthesis of plasmalogens and bile acids. They are also involved in the catabolism of Very Long Chain Fatty Acids (VLCFAs), phytanic acid, and pristanic acid. Defects in these pathways usually result in the accumulation in tissues and body fluids of one or more metabolites derived from the blocked metabolic steps. Specific accumulations are used for the differential biochemical diagnosis of numerous peroxisomal disorders. These disorders include (A) Zellweger spectrum disorders of peroxisomal biogenesis, (B) X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) and its adult form X-linked adrenomyeloneuropathy (X-AMN), (C) Refsum disease (Phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase Deficiency), and (D) 2-methylacyl-CoA racemase deficiency.

Leukodystrophies compass a wide range of genetic disorders that compromise the white matter. Some of them exhibit different phenotypes with late and slow onset. The present work reports an unusual case of probable X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy that could be classified in adrenomyeloneupathy, but there were no signs of adrenal insufficiency and the cognitive decline developed fast. MRI evinced classical symmetrical parieto-occipital pattern of lesion, although dosage of very long chain fatty acids was normal.

... (ALD) is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that cause damage to the myelin sheath, an insulating membrane that surrounds nerve cells in the brain. People with ALD accumulate high levels of saturated, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) in the brain and adrenal cortex because they do not produce the enzyme that breaks down these fatty acids in the normal manner. The loss of myelin and the progressive dysfunction of the adrenal gland are the primary characteristics of ALD. ALD has two subtypes. The most common is the X-linked form (X-ALD), which involves an abnormal gene located on the X-chromosome. Women have two X-chromosomes and are the carriers of the disease, but since men only have one X-chromosome and lack the protective effect of the extra X-chromosome, they are more severely affected. Onset of X-ALD can occur in childhood or in adulthood. The childhood form is the most severe, with onset between ages 4 and 10. The most common symptoms are ...

Also known as Lorenzos Oil disease, adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is estimated to affect one in every 21,000 male births worldwide. The cerebral form of the disease, cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), is a potentially fatal form of ALD. CALD involves a breakdown of the protective sheath of the nerve cells in the brain that are responsible for thinking and muscle control.. Currently, the only effective treatment option for patients with CALD is allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Potential complications of allogeneic HSCT, which can be fatal, include graft failure, graft versus host disease (GVHD) and opportunistic infections, particularly in patients who undergo allogeneic HSCT using cells from a donor who is not a matched, unaffected sibling.. Early diagnosis of CALD is important, as the outcome of HSCT varies with clinical stage of the disease at the time of transplant. Favorable outcomes have been observed in patients who undergo transplant in the early stages of cerebral ...

The prevalence of alpha-thalassaemias is up to 5% in Hong Kong and up to 40% in some parts of South East Asia. Haemoglobin H consists of four betaglobin chains. Instead of the usual complement of four normal alphaglobin genes (two on each chromosome 16), people with haemoglobin H disease have only one. At the other three alphaglobin gene sites, they have either three deletions or two deletions and one mutation. Now, work in Hong Kong (New England Journal of Medicine2000;343:544-50) has shown that those with a mutation have more severe disease but iron overload is equally a problem in both types.. Eight of 13 American and four of five French boys with cerebral X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy survived bone marrow transplantation at ages 5 to 11 years and were followed for five to ten years (Lancet2000;356:713-18). Verbal intelligence remained normal in 11 and non-verbal abilities remained stable or improved in seven. Eight showed continuing demyelination on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but later ...

The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ALD subfamily, which is involved in peroxisomal import of fatty acids and/or fatty acyl-CoAs in the organelle. All known peroxisomal ABC transporters are half transporters which require a partner half transporter molecule to form a functional homodimeric or heterodimeric transporter. This peroxisomal membrane protein is likely involved in the peroxisomal transport or catabolism of very long chain fatty acids. Defects in the human gene have been identified as the underlying cause of adrenoleukodystrophy, an X-chromosome recessively inherited demyelinating disorder of the nervous system.

ABCD1 transporter  ABCD1 transporter
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare neurologic disease caused by a defect in a gene required for normal ABCD1 transporter function. The lack of this function leads to progressive demyelination, severe neurologic disease and death in males, often in childhood. ALD disease progression can be controlled by allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in those patients for whom bone marrow donors can be found. This unusual correction occurs because bone marrow-derived monocyte-macrophages are known to migrate into the central nervous system and form functional microglial cells. These corrected microglial cells provide the patients with cells with normal ABCD1 transporter activity and allow normal myelin function.. Two patients with progressive ALD with no available allogeneic HCT donors were recently treated by lentiviral-mediated gene therapy. A lentiviral vector containing the normal ABCD1 transporter gene coding sequence was integrated into the patients own marrow derived ...

EVOVL4 is highly expressed in the human retina and was initially discovered as the causal gene of STGD3 [13]. Consistently, mutant mice carrying the dominant negative form of human ELOVL4 gene that was either introduced through a knock-in approach (Elovl4+/del), or transgenic approach (IRBP-ELOVL4) developed early onset of progressive photoreceptor degeneration ([18,19], Li and Deng unpublished data). In contrast, mice heterozygous for a conventional knockout of ELOVL4 developed normally and exhibited no symptoms mimicking human STGD3 [21]. Furthermore, Elovl4-/- mice died unexpected shortly after birth, suggesting that ELOVL4 may play additional functions in other organs/tissues that are critical for early postnatal survival. In addition to the eye, ELOVL4 is also presented at high levels in the skin and brain [12]. Our analysis of Elovl4-/- mice revealing the abnormal differentiation of keratinocytes, and malformation of the SC of the skin indicate that ELOVL4 indeed have critical functions in ...

World Series crew chief Hirschbeck overcomes health hurdles An interview with the World Series crew chief wasnt quite balls and strikes. When he cracked into the profession, he was well-aware that the odds of making it big were astronomical. Adrenoleukodystrophy is an X-linked genetic disorder that causes damage to the myelin sheath, an insulating membrane that surrounds nerve cells in the brain, according to ClevelandClinic.org. Michael, two years younger, wouldnt be alive today if not for a bone marrow transplant he received from his sister, Megan, when she was an infant. [...] the bullet points of his career look like this: Aside from an incident with Orioles Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar (he ejected Alomar in a 1996 game when the second baseman spit in his face), Hirschbeck has avoided the spotlight, the goal of officials at any level. No, in Game 1 of the World Series, Hirschbeck and the umpiring crew, specifically Dana Demuth, became the subject of a first-inning conversation on a

The elongases of very long chain fatty acid (ELOVL or ELO) are essential in the biosynthesis of fatty acids longer than C14. Here, two ELO full-length cDNAs (TmELO1, TmELO2) from the yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor L.) were isolated and the functions were characterized. The open reading frame (ORF) lengths of TmELO1 and TmELO2 were 1005 bp and 972 bp, respectively and the corresponding peptide sequences each contained several conserved motifs including the histidine-box motif HXXHH. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated high similarity with the ELO of Tribolium castaneum and Drosophila melanogaster. Both TmELO genes were expressed at various levels in eggs, 1st and 2nd instar larvae, mature larvae, pupae, male and female adults. Injection of dsTmELO1 but not dsTmELO2 RNA into mature larvae significantly increased mortality although RNAi did not produce any obvious changes in the fatty acid composition in the survivors. Heterologous expression of TmELO genes in yeast revealed that TmELO1 and ...

Leopard spot retinal pigmentation in infancy indicating a peroxisomal disorder | British Journal of Ophthalmology  Leopard spot retinal pigmentation in infancy indicating a peroxisomal disorder | British Journal of Ophthalmology
The cause of neonatal adrenoleucodystrophy is the absence or near absence of peroxisomes, intracellular organelles exclusively responsible for the catabolism of long chain fatty acids (16 or more carbon atoms), very long chain fatty acids (22 or more carbon atoms), and pipecolic acid.3,4 Peroxisomes are also important in plasmalogen and bile acid synthesis; their absence therefore results in increased levels of plasma VLCFAs, bile acid intermediates and pipecolic acid, and decreased red blood cell plasmalogen levels. These metabolic disturbances are particularly important in cells which are normally rich in peroxisomes such as hepatocytes, oligodendrocytes, and neurons in the first weeks of life. Tissue VLCFA accumulation causes the neurological and ocular findings; decreased plasmalogen levels may also affect the photoreceptor outer segment/retinal pigment epithelium relation since they are cell membrane constituents.. The most important ocular manifestations are optic atrophy and pigmentary ...

One thing we found out about the disorder is that kids with this disorder can appear completely normal and healthy, as in Owens case, until they get an illness such as the flu and cannot or will not eat for extended periods of time. When this happens if they are not properly cared for things can get bad really quick.. The geneticist also explained the disorder in more detail. The problem with this disorder is in the mitochondria where fatty acids are broken down. Very long chain fatty acids are in just about everything and are abundant in breast milk. In normal functioning mitochondria the fatty acids enter and move around in the mitochondria and are broken down into shorter chains. Once the fatty acids are broken down they can leave the mitochondria, enter the blood and are harmless. In Owens case the very long chain fatty acids cannot be broken down due to a missing enzyme, therefore they are released right back into the blood and these long chains can be toxic when they build-up. Because of ...

Here is more information.......... Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA. The Canadian government and industry paid our Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) $50 million dollars to have canola oil placed on the (GRAS) List, "Generally Recognized As Safe". Thus a new industry was created. Laws were enacted affecting international trade, commerce, and traditional diets. Studies with lab. animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA. Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves. Canola oil is a very long ...

Dual Fatty Acid Elongase Complex Interactions in Arabidopsis  Dual Fatty Acid Elongase Complex Interactions in Arabidopsis
Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) are involved in plant development and particularly in several cellular processes such as membrane trafficking, cell division and cell differentiation. However, the precise role of VLCFAs in these different cellular processes is still poorly understood in plants. In order to identify new factors associated with the biosynthesis or function of VLCFAs, a yeast multicopy suppressor screen was carried out in a yeast mutant strain defective for fatty acid elongation. Loss of function of the elongase 3 hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydratase PHS1 in yeast and PASTICCINO2 in plants prevents growth and induces cytokinesis defects. PROTEIN TYROSIN PHOSPHATASE-LIKE (PTPLA) previously characterized as an inactive dehydratase was able to restore yeast phs1 growth and VLCFAs elongation but not the plant pas2-1 defects. PTPLA interacted with elongase subunits in the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and its absence induced the accumulation of 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA as expected from a dehydratase involved

Of over a dozen subcellular compartments in eukaryotic cells, the peroxisome is a spherical single membrane-bounded organelle that functions in essential metabolic pathways, including the β oxidation of very long chain fatty acids and the biosynthesis of ether lipids such as plasmalogens (van den Bosch et al., 1992). Peroxisomal matrix and membrane proteins (PMPs) are synthesized on free polysomes in the cytosol and are posttranslationally imported into peroxisomes (Lazarow and Fujiki, 1985). The import of matrix proteins involves the recognition of two distinct topogenic signals, tripeptide peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 and nonapeptide peroxisomal targeting signal type 2, by their respective cytosolic receptors, Pex5p and Pex7p, followed by the translocation of such complexes via peroxisomal membrane importomers, which include Pex14p and RING peroxins (Heiland and Erdmann, 2005; Miyata and Fujiki, 2005; Fujiki et al., 2006b).

The seed oil of meadowfoam, a new crop in the Limnanthaceae family, is highly enriched in very long chain fatty acids that are desaturated at the Δ5 position. The unusual oil is desirable for cosmetics and innovative industrial applications and the seed meal remaining after oil extraction contains glucolimnanthin, a methoxylated benzylglucosinolate whose degradation products are herbicidal and anti-microbial. Here we describe EST analysis of the developing seed transcriptome that identified major genes involved in biosynthesis and assembly of the seed oil and in glucosinolate metabolic pathways. mRNAs encoding acyl-CoA Δ5 desaturase were notably abundant. The library was searched for simple sequence repeats (SSRs) and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Fifty-four new SSR markers and eight candidate gene markers were developed and combined with previously developed SSRs to construct a new genetic map for Limnanthes alba. Mapped genes in the lipid biosynthetic pathway encode 3-ketoacyl-CoA ...

MacSphere: Long chain fatty acid uptake by and trafficking within 3T3-L1 adipocytes  MacSphere: Long chain fatty acid uptake by and trafficking within 3T3-L1 adipocytes
p,Long chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are important metabolic substrates for mammalian cells. They are utilized as energy sources, through β-oxidation, and as substrates for the synthesis of lipids, including phospholipids and triglycerides, as well as lipids involved in cellular signalling. LCFAs, themselves can also participate in a variety of crucial cell signalling cascades. Adipocytes, through the storage of LCFAs as triglycerides and the mobilization of stored LCFAs are important regulators of energy balance in mammals. A variety of pathogenic conditions involve impaired storage or utilization of LCFAs.,/p, ,p,The involvement of LCFAs in these events involves their initial interaction with, uptake by and trafficking within cells. These processes were studied in murine 3T3-L1 cells, which differentiate from preadipocytes to adipocytes. Upon differentiation, they acquired increased levels of LCFA uptake, which was saturable, exhibiting high affinities both for oleate, a natural LCFA, and for ...

Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency  Very long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCAD) is a rare genetic condition resulting from a mutation (change) in a persons DNA. Due to this change, people with VLCAD have problems breaking down certain fats properly. VLCAD occurs when the body either does not make enough or makes non-working enzyme called very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase. Enzymes are proteins that help break down the food we eat into the pieces our body can use for energy. In this case, the job of the VLCAD enzyme is to break down the very long-chain fatty acids, which are parts of the fat from our food. These fatty acids are important energy sources when there are not enough sugars in the body, such as in between meals. A person with VLCAD cannot use this type of fatty acid for energy because it cant break it down. This also causes a build-up of too many unused very long-chain fatty acids, which can be harmful to the body.. Those affected by VLCAD can show symptoms any time between infancy and adulthood. ...

Early and late outcomes after cord blood transplantation for pediatric patients with inherited leukodystrophies.  Early and late outcomes after cord blood transplantation for pediatric patients with inherited leukodystrophies.
Leukodystrophies (LD) are devastating inherited disorders leading to rapid neurological deterioration and premature death. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can halt disease progression for selected LD. Cord blood is a common donor source for transplantation of these patients because it is rapidly available and can be used without full HLA matching. However, precise recommendations allowing care providers to identify patients who benefit from HSCT are lacking. In this study, we define risk factors and describe the early and late outcomes of 169 patients with globoid cell leukodystrophy, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, and metachromatic leukodystrophy undergoing cord blood transplantation (CBT) at an European Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation center or at Duke University Medical Center from 1996 to 2013. Factors associated with higher overall survival (OS) included presymptomatic status (77% vs 49%;P= .006), well-matched (≤1 HLA mismatch) CB units (71% vs 54%;P= .009), ...

Severity score system for progressive myelopathy : development and validation of a new clinical scale  Severity score system for progressive myelopathy : development and validation of a new clinical scale
Progressive myelopathies can be secondary to inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) such as mucopolysaccharidosis, mucolipidosis, and adrenomyeloneuropathy. The available scale, Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score, was validated only for degenerative vertebral diseases. Our objective is to propose and validate a new scale addressing progressive myelopathies and to present validating data for JOA in these diseases. A new scale, Severity Score System for Progressive Myelopathy (SSPROM), was constructed covering motor disability, sphincter dysfunction, spasticity, and sensory losses. Inter- and intra-rater reliabilities were measured. External validation was tested by applying JOA, the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), the Barthel index, and the Osame Motor Disability Score. Thirty-eight patients, 17 with adrenomyeloneuropathy, 3 with mucopolysaccharidosis I, 3 with mucopolysaccharidosis IV, 2 with mucopolysaccharidosis VI, 2 with mucolipidosis, and 11 with human T-cell lymphotropic ...

Myelopathy: chameleons and mimics | Practical Neurology  Myelopathy: chameleons and mimics | Practical Neurology
Disorders of the central nervous system that mimic myelopathies may exert a diffuse effect on UMNs, or may be multifocal, or rarely unifocal.. Several neurogenetic, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative conditions diffusely target UMNs, or appear to do so, selectively or in association with other neurological deficits, thereby potentially mimicking a structural cord lesion. Among genetic disorders, hereditary spastic paraplegias (HSP) and adrenomyeloneuropathy are perhaps the most obvious mimics. But patients with Friedreichs ataxia can present with a predominant spastic paraparesis, resembling a myelopathy. This is especially likely to occur in people with at least one relatively small GAA expansion,14 or in compound heterozygotes with particular missense point mutations in one allele.15 Spinocerebellar ataxias can also occasionally present with prominent UMN signs,16 but are more likely to be misdiagnosed as HSP than a structural myelopathy, given the increased likelihood of a family ...

ABCD3 gene - Genetics Home Reference - NIH  ABCD3 gene - Genetics Home Reference - NIH
From NCBI Gene:. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intra-cellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ALD subfamily, which is involved in peroxisomal import of fatty acids and/or fatty acyl-CoAs in the organelle. All known peroxisomal ABC transporters are half transporters which require a partner half transporter molecule to form a functional homodimeric or heterodimeric transporter. This peroxisomal membrane protein likely plays an important role in peroxisome biogenesis. Mutations have been associated with some forms of Zellweger syndrome, a heterogeneous group of peroxisome assembly disorders. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. From UniProt: ...

Down-regulation of fatty acid synthase increases the resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to H2O2  Down-regulation of fatty acid synthase increases the resistance of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells to H2O2
Changes in plasma membrane permeability caused by H2O2 were recently found to be involved in the adaptation to H2O2, but the mechanism responsible for this change remains largely unknown. Here this mechanism was addressed and two lines of evidence showed for the first time that fatty acid synthase (Fas) plays a key role during the cellular response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to H2O2: (1) adaptation was associated with a decrease in both Fas expression and activity; (2) more importantly, decreasing Fas activity by 50% through deletion of one of the FAS alleles increased the resistance to lethal doses of H2O2. The mechanism by which a decrease of Fas expression causes a higher resistance to H2O2 was not fully elucidated. However, the fas1Δ strain plasma membrane had large increases in the levels of lignoceric acid (C24:0) (40%) and cerotic acid (C26:0) (50%), suggesting that alterations in the plasma membrane composition are involved. Very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) through interdigitation ...

Novel PEX1 mutations and genotype-phenotype correlations in Australasian peroxisome biogenesis disorder patients  Novel PEX1 mutations and genotype-phenotype correlations in Australasian peroxisome biogenesis disorder patients
The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of neuronal migration/neurodegenerative disorders that arise from defects in PEX genes. A major subgroup of the PBDs includes Zellweger syndrome (ZS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), and infantile Refsum disease (IRD). These three disorders represent a clinical continuum with Zellweger syndrome the most severe. Mutations in the PEX1 gene, which encodes a protein of the AAA ATPase family involved in peroxisome matrix protein import, account for the genetic defect in more than half of the patients in this PBD subgroup. We report here on the results of PEX1 mutation detection in an Australasian cohort of PEX1-deficient PBD patients. This screen has identified five novel mutations, including nonsense mutations in exons 14 and 19 and single nucleotide deletions in exons 5 and 18. Significantly, the allele carrying the exon 18 frameshift mutation is present at moderately high frequency (approx. 10%) in this patient cohort. The fifth mutation ...

Aufreinigung und funktionelle Charakterisierung der peroxisomalen ABC-Transporter Pxa1p-Pxa2p aus Saccharomyces cerevisiae  Aufreinigung und funktionelle Charakterisierung der peroxisomalen ABC-Transporter Pxa1p-Pxa2p aus Saccharomyces cerevisiae
The peroxisomal ABC-transporters Pxa1p and Pxa2p are half transporters. Previous genetic investigations have demonstrated that Pxa1p and Pxa2p have to dimerise in order to build a functional transporter, which is very likely involved in the import of long chain fatty acids into peroxisomes of S. cerevisiae. In this work, tagged versions of the proteins were purified as a complex. This proved for the building of a stable hetero dimer. For characterisation of the ATP binding properties, the transporters were incubated and cross linked with 8-azido-[alpha-32P]-ATP. This revealed an asymmetric binding of the ATP analogue. Pxa2p binds much more azido-ATP, than Pxa1p, while the dissociation constants are rather similar. The poorer ATP binding of Pxa1p is reflected by degenerated sequence motifs in the nucleotide binding fold. The purified ABC-transporters have been used for ATPase assays. They showed a basal ATPase activity, which could be stimulated by addition of long chain fatty acid CoAs, like ...

Frontiers | Motor Deficits and Cerebellar Atrophy in Elovl5 Knock Out Mice | Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience  Frontiers | Motor Deficits and Cerebellar Atrophy in Elovl5 Knock Out Mice | Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
Spino-Cerebellar-Ataxia type 38 (SCA38) is caused by missense mutations in the very long chain fatty acid elongase 5 gene, ELOVL5. The main clinical findings in this disease are ataxia, hyposmia and cerebellar atrophy. Mice in which Elovl5 has been knocked out represent a model of the loss of function hypothesis of SCA38. In agreement with this hypothesis, Elovl5 knock out mice reproduced the main symptoms of patients, motor deficits at the beam balance test and hyposmia. The cerebellar cortex of Elovl5 knock out mice showed a reduction of thickness of the molecular layer, already detectable at 6 months of age, confirmed at 12 and 18 months. The total perimeter length of the Purkinje cell layer was also reduced in Elovl5 knock out mice. Since Elovl5 transcripts are expressed by Purkinje cells, whose dendrites are a major component of the molecular layer, we hypothesized that an alteration of their dendrites might be responsible for the reduced thickness of this layer. Reconstruction of the dendritic
