Where exactly is adrenoleukodystrophy on the x chromosome?

The specific location of the mutation that causes X-ALD is on the ABCD1 gene on the X-chromosome. Please note that there isn't a specific mutation in the ABCD1 gene that causes X-ALD or can be related in any way to the different clinical presentations of the disease.


What type of mutation occurs in adrenoleukodystrophy?

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is primarily caused by a mutation in the ABCD1 gene, which encodes a protein involved in the transport of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) into peroxisomes. This mutation typically results in a loss of function of the ABCD1 protein, leading to the accumulation of VLCFAs in the body. The genetic mutation is inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, meaning it predominantly affects males, while female carriers may exhibit milder symptoms.

What gene carries Adrenoleukodystrophy?

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


Is adrenoleukodystrophy dominant or recessive?

This disease results from a mutation on the x-chromosome. It's recessive considering that a dominant will only cover up things that have occur, for example the damage that has occured, with something else. A recessive will continue to give latent traits. The allele in Adrenoleukodystrophy can only be caused by heredity mutation thus making it recessive.
