Departments and specialties

Mayo Clinic has one of the largest and most experienced practices in the United States, with campuses in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota. Staff skilled in dozens of specialties work together to ensure quality care and successful recovery.

Research

Mayo Clinic researchers study potential diagnostic tests and improved treatments and outcomes for adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), including:

  • Medications to lower very long-chain fatty acid levels in your blood
  • Lorenzo's oil, a mixture of chemicals that may help reduce or delay symptoms of ALD by inhibiting the enzyme that causes the lengthening of saturated fatty acids
  • Gene therapy to slow progress of the condition
