Adrenoleukodystrophy primarily affects the peroxisomes, which are organelles responsible for the breakdown of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). In this condition, the impairment of peroxisomal function leads to the accumulation of VLCFAs in the body, particularly in the brain and adrenal glands, causing damage to myelin and resulting in neurological and adrenal dysfunction.
