All the patients were male.

Loes scores range from 0 to 34, with higher scores indicating an increased extent of lesions on magnetic resonance imaging.

Scores on the cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy–specific neurologic function scale range from 0 to 25, with higher scores indicating more severe deficits. The scale is used to evaluate the severity of gross neurologic dysfunction through an assessment for 15 disabilities across multiple domains; a score of 0 indicates the absence of clinical signs of cerebral disease.
