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. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p914; Dev Neurosci 1991;13(4-5):267-73)
Peroxisomal Disorders
A heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders marked by absent or dysfunctional PEROXISOMES. 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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Oxidation-Reduction
A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).
Brain
The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). 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.

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.

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)
