What was the purpose of the ALD symposiums?
The symposiums are held to make people aware of ALD or Adrenoleukodystrophy. It also provided a platform to have scientists collaborate to find a treatment.
Why is a disease like ALD much more common in boys than in girls?
The most common type of ALD (adrenoleukodystrophy) is X-linked ALD. Than means that the gene for ALD is on the X chromosome. Because boys have only one X chromosome, if it has the ALD gene on it they will have the disease. Girls have two X chromosomes, so, in order to get ALD both of their X chromosomes would have to have an ALD gene. That would mean that both her father and her mother would have to have an ALD gene. Because males with ALD die before they can have children this would not happen. So girls don't get this type of ALD. There are other, more rare types of ALD that affect both boys and girls. So, all in all, fewer girls have ALD

What does ALD do to the white matter in the brain?
Myelin sheaths in the central nervous system do the same basic job as they do in the peripheral nervous system. They insulate the axons, which are the conducting parts of nerve cells, so that they can carry their signal better. When this protective mechanism is damaged, as in ALD, the nerve cells cannot communicate properly and result in the signs and symptoms of ALD. Unfortunately this genetic disorder not usually caught in its early stages to provide effective treatment.
What is the most severe form of adrenoleukodystrophy?
