Abstract:
We describe the neurophysiologic abnormalities in 17 patients with clinical adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN), an adult phenotype of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). These abnormalities also allowed the early recognition of the AMN phenotype in three asymptomatic boys with biochemically proven ALD. In 14/16 adult AMN patients, there were cerebral white matter abnormalities on MRI which were severe and comparable with cerebral ALD in four of the patients.
