Three-dimensional structure prediction of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) protein. (a) The modeled structure of health control. The visible alteration of ALD protein structure induced by mutations (b) c.874_876delGAG (p.Glu292del) and (c) c.96_97delCT (p.Tyr33Profs161) are indicated in circles. It indicates that those mutations might lead to alteration of the protein structure and potential dysfunction.
