Asymmetric cerebral lesion pattern in X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy.
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is an inherited disease caused by peroxisomal dysfunction. X-ALD usually involves the cerebral white matter in an approximately symmetric way. We report a 10-year-old boy with the cerebral form of X-ALD who presented with cognitive impairment and left spastic hemiparesis. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed asymmetric lesions, and the lesions in t...

skin, starting from face since the age of 4 years. There was history of recurrent episodes of loose motions, vomiting and fever after the age of 4 years in the elder sibling for which he was hospitalized in a state of shock. Family history, perinatal history and developmental history were non-contributory. General and systemic examinations were unremarkable except for the generalized hyperpigme...
متن کاملMutation pattern in human adrenoleukodystrophy protein in terms of amino-acid pair predictability
The mutation pattern in protein is a very important feature and is studied through various approaches including the study on mutation pattern in domains where amino acids are converted into numbers from letters. In this study, we converted the amino acids in human adrenoleukodystrophy protein with its 128 missense mutations into random domain using the amino-acid pair predictability, and then w...
متن کاملApplication of magnetic resonance spectroscopy for evaluating metabolic alteration in anterior cingulate cortex in Alzheimer's disease
Introduction: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia worldwide. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is often the prodromal stage to AD. Most patients with MCI harbor the pathologic changes of AD and demonstrate transition to AD at a rate of 10–15% per year. Accumulating evidence indicates that the asymmetry changes of left and right brain have happened in the early stage of A...
متن کاملAdrenoleukodystrophy: heterogeneity in two brothers.
A man with hypoadrenalism died from a rapidly progressive pseudobulbar palsy, due to adult onset adrenoleukodystrophy. This diagnosis suggested that his brother, with a longstanding spastic paraparesis, suffered from adrenomyeloneuropathy. Both cases were confirmed biochemically. The heterogeneity of expression of this x-linked disorder is described, with the consequent difficulty in diagnosis ...
