Overview
Adrenoleukodystrophy is a inherited disease, and someone with a family history of illness is at risk. Because the disorder is passed by parents to their offspring as an X-linked genetic mutation, males are mainly affected, while some females may have signs of the disease but are mostly asymptomatic carriers.
