Prevention
There is no way to prevent ALD. If you have ALD or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk to a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.
Early recognition and treatment may prevent the development of clinical symptoms. This is especially true in young boys who are treated with Lorenzo’s oil. New technologies may soon allow early identification through newborn screening.
