Abstract
None:
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a genetic peroxisome disorder linked to ABCD1 mutation, characterized by rapid and complex clinical symptoms. We here report a case of X-ALD manifesting solely as dysarthria, associated with an undefined mutation in the ABCD1 gene, underscoring the necessity of atypical clinical symptoms in X-ALD diagnosis.

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

82
Huntington disease or HD is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.PathophysiologyIt is caused by expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in the HTT gene on chromosome 4 (4p16.3), producing an abnormal huntingtin protein with an expanded polyglutamine tract. This misfolded protein disrupts cellular function, leading to neuronal death. Normal alleles have ≤26 repeats, 27–35 are intermediate (risk of expansion), 36–39 show...
