Disease Burden in Female Patients With X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy
We conclude that symptoms related to myelopathy and neuropathy are common in female individuals with ALD and that their disease burden is aggravated by the high rates of mental health problems, barriers to health care access, and injuries and complications requiring treatment. Limitations of our study include a risk for recall bias and selection bias.
