ALD

See

A mild form of ALD is occasionally seen in women who are carriers of the disorder.
BIOCHEMISTRY: X-ALD is a peroxisomal storage disease whereby abnormal function of peroxisomes leads to the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA) in tissues of the body, especially the brain and the adrenal glands.
Contributing Factors: ALD is most common in large active breeds, but small dogs may be affected as well.
ALD is particularly well suited for this application since it can allow for deposition on complex non-planar structures at the nanoscale level with controllable thickness.
ALD is an X-linked recessive inheritance of a syndrome of Addison disease and cerebral sclerosis.
