Abstract: Purpose of reviewThe present review summarizes recent advances in the diagnosis and management of patients with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD).Recent findingsAlthough ALD screening has been on the list of Recommended Uniform Screening Panel since 2016, only 30 states in the United States are currently testing their newborns for this disease.

“…The main treatment for AMN is supportive, aimed at alleviating symptoms and relieving dysfunction [ 22 ]. In addition, Lorenzo oil and lovastatin have been proven to reduce plasma VLCFAs levels, but the former lacks data to prevent or slow down the disease's progress, while the latter has not shown significant results in subsequent studies [ 22 ]. Our patient was given hydrocortisone to make his cortisol levels normal.…”

“…АМН является одним из наиболее часто встречающихся вариантов АЛД. При АМН в первую очередь поражается белое вещество спинного мозга и периферические нервы с развитием моторных и сенсорных расстройств [5][6][7][8][9]. У пациентов постепенно развивается спастический парапарез нижних конечностей, часто сочетающийся с нарушением вибрационной чувствительности, патологией сфинктеров и импотенцией.…”

“…Исследования последних лет показали, что у 100 % дочерей-гетерозигот пациентов с АЛД выявляется повышенный уровень ОДЦЖК [20], и, соответственно, они в группе риска по развитию не только различных клинических вариантов заболевания, но и ассоциированных с АЛД состояний. Проявления АМН у женщин могут варьировать от незначительных до выраженных с тяжелыми летальными осложнениями [7][8][9]11]. У пациентов любого пола, помимо значимого неврологического дефицита и признаков надпочечниковой недостаточности, могут также развиваться жизнеугрожающие урологические осложнения.…”

“…Em casos de tentativa de diagnóstico intraútero, cita-se a possibilidade do estudo citogenético e/ou molecular de vilosidade coriônica. Quanto à possibilidade de uma identificação precoce, mesmo em países desenvolvidos, como os Estados Unidos, onde há uma recomendação formal para rastreamento neonatal, isso ainda é um desafio e não uma rotina 7 .…”
