Interstitial lung disease and pancreatic exocrine insufficiency in CADDS: Phenotypic expansion and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Contiguous ABCD1/ DXS1357E deletion syndrome (CADDS) is a rare deletion syndrome involving two contiguous genes on Xq28, ABCD1 and BCAP31 (formerly known as DXS1357E). Only nine individuals with this diagnosis have been reported in the medical literature to date. Intragenic loss-of-function variants in BCAP31 cause the deafness, dystonia, and cerebral hypomyelination syndrome (DDCH). Isolated pathogenic intragenic variants in ABCD1 are associated with the most common peroxisomal disorder, X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a single transporter deficiency, which in its more severe cerebral form is characterised by childhood-onset neurodegeneration and high levels of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA). While increased VLCFA levels also fe
