The purpose of the adrenoleukodystrophy website is to provide general educational information about ALD. Our goal is to cover as many aspects of ALD as possible. This database and the information contained herein is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Please do not use our website for diagnosis or treatment of ALD. While we provide information, always consult your professional healthcare provider for specific disease-related questions or concerns.

Contributors are responsible for the reliability of the unverified data published on this website. Although considerable effort has been made to ensure the high quality of the ABCD1 Variant Database, the laboratories/investigators identifying these variants make no warranties, express or implied, regarding the accuracy of the information or its suitability for any particular purpose. Users should exercise caution for several reasons:

• The is no phenotype/genotype correlation in ALD. Prediction of disease course based on a genetic variant is not possible, even within individual families.
• The ‘variant’ may be a technical artifact.
• Many variants of uncertain significance (VUS) lack experimental evidence that the variant is not pathogenic – or benign.
• Due to the high percentage of unique variants in the ABCD1 gene, the pathogenicity of many variants has not been confirmed by independent evidence.

Unpublished variants may not be used for publication purposes without prior permission from the database editor and the laboratories/investigators who identified and reported these variants.
