Official Title: A Pilot Study of Vitamin D in Boys With X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy

Brief Summary:

In this pilot study, the investigators will assess the safety of two high-dose regimens of oral vitamin D supplementation and measure the effects of vitamin D supplementation on markers of oxidative stress and inflammation in the blood and brain of study participants before, during, and after taking vitamin D supplements.

The goal of the study is to establish research measures (i.e. biomarkers) and an optimal dose for vitamin D supplementation in boys with the X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) genotype.
