A novel ABCD1 gene mutation causes adrenomyeloneuropathy presenting with spastic paraplegia: A case report

X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene leading to very long chain fatty acid (VLCFA) accumulation. The disease demonstrates a spectrum of phenotypes including adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN). We aimed to identify the genetic basis of disease in a patient presenting with AMN features in order to confirm the diagnosis, expand genetic knowledge of ABCD1 mutations, and elucidate potential genotype-phenotype associations to inform management.
