Özet

OBJECTIVES: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy(X-ALD) is a rare X-linked recessive metabolic disorder. The mutations in the ATP Binding Cassette Subfamily D Member 1 (ABCD1) gene account for the underlying molecular mechanism. Herein, we present two siblings with X-ALD due to a missense, presumably identical, ABCD1 mutation, who had extremely distinct clinical phenotypes.
