Is adrenoleukodystrophy chromosome problem?....if so, which one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Adrenoleukodystrophy is passed down from parents to their children as an x-linked genetic trait. It therefore affects mostly males, although some women who are carriers can have milder forms of the disease. It affects approximately 1 in 20, 000 people from all races.
