Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) affects the myelin of the central nervous system. Symptoms can vary a great deal making diagnosis difficult but include weakness of muscle tone, aphasia, strabismus, hearing loss and worsening muscle weakness and leg stiffness.

The United Leukodystrophy Foundation (see related links) mentions an x-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, as well as other adrenoleukodystrophies that have multiple possible genetic causes.

The most common symptoms are behavioral problems and poor memory. Other symptoms frequently seen are loss of vision, seizures, poorly articulated speech, difficulty swallowing, deafness, problems with gait and.

Adrenoleukodystrophy is a degenerative genetic disease in which myelin is lost from nerve cells in the brain.
