Overview
Adrenoleukodystrophy is the most common peroxisomal disorder, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 17,000 births (male and female) and 1 in 21,000 males in the United States. The prevalence of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals. This condition occurs with a similar frequency in all populations. The lifetime prevalence of adrenal insufficiency in ALD is ~80%.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Adrenoleukodystrophy is the most common peroxisomal disorder, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 17,000 births (male and female) and 1 in 21,000 males in the United States. [1]
Prevalence
- The prevalence of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is approximately 1 in 20,000 individuals. This condition occurs with a similar frequency in all populations.
- The lifetime prevalence of adrenal insufficiency in ALD is ~80%. [2]
Age
- Childhood cerebral type commonly occurs in 3-10 years of age.[3]
- AMN type has a median age of 28 years.[3]
- Addison disease type occurs in 0 to (greater or equal to) 10 years of age.[3]
- Cerebellar type can occur in childhood or adolescence.
Race
There is no racial predilection to adrenoleukodystrophy.
Gender
- Men are more commonly affected by adrenoleukodystrophy than women. However, women can be a carrier of the disease.
