A member asked:
Can you tell me how much time will a 17 year old live if he has leukodystraphy.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Hi. Life expectancy varies. Make sure he is evaluated for adrenal insufficiency (Addison's disease). I think there are a few places doing Lorenzo's Oil type research. I'm sorry; it's such a sad thing. Good luck to him.
