CTX is one of a group of inherited neurologic disorders known as leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies affect the cerebral white matter - the part of the brain that carries nerve impulses, electrical signals that stimulate or inhibit the action of a muscle, gland, or other nerve cell. Leukodystrophies are characterized by progressive deterioration of the myelin sheath, the covering that protects nerve fibers and speeds up the transmission of nerve impulses. 3... CTX is a rare, inherited, metabolic disorder characterized by the abnormal storage of certain lipids (fats) in various areas of the body, resulting in neurologic abnormalities as well as systemic effects (affecting parts of the body, or potentially the entire body).
