There are seven male phenotypes i.e. Childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, Adolescent, Adrenomyeloneuropathy, Adult cerebral, Olivo-pontocerebellar, Addison-only , Asymptomatic and five female phenotypes i.e. Asymptomatic, Mild myelopathy, Moderate to severe myeloneuropathy, Cerebral involvement, Clinically evident adrenal insufficiency.
