Alex TLC are working with Sheffield Hallam University to publish a paper demonstrating the psychosocial impact of CCALD on parents and carers.

The study is a first of it’s kind and will help to provide evidence towards Newborn screening for ALD. It is a valuable study with the results providing a good opportunity to improve the circumstances for other families. The results will directly feed into initiatives to improve diagnosis and access to treatments for ALD patients.
