In adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), your body can't break down very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), causing saturated VLCFA s to build up in your brain, nervous ...
- Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD ...Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease, also known as MOGAD, is a rare inflammatory disease that affects the central nervous system.

There are many different causes of transverse myelitis, including infections and immune system disorders that attack the body's tissues.
- Optic neuritis - Symptoms & causes - Mayo ClinicMyelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody disorder. This condition can cause inflammation to the optic nerve, spinal cord or brain. Similar to MS and neuromyelitis optica, recurrent attacks of inflammation can occur. Recovery from myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) attacks is usually better than recovery from neuromyelitis optica.
