    Abstract:
    Adrenomyeloneuropathy is a varient of adrenoleukodystrophy, both of which are rare inherited disorders of peroxisomes characterized by the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids in plasma, the central and peripheral nervous systems, adrenal glands and testes, which leads to dysfunction of these organs and systems.
