Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic disorder that affects the nervous system and adrenal glands due to the buildup of very long-chain fatty acids in the body. Symptoms can vary widely but often include muscle weakness, behavioral changes, vision and hearing loss, and adrenal insufficiency. Treatment options are limited and focus on managing symptoms, with approaches including hormone replacement for adrenal issues, dietary management, and in some cases, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to slow disease progression.
