Adjectival Hyphens
error

"Peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency, also known as pseudo-neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy or just pseudoadrenoleukodystrophy, is a very rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism due to deficiency of the enzyme Acyl-Coa oxidase (encoded by ACOX1 gene, 17q25.1) that results in the accumulation of very long chain fatty acids 1. The condition shares some similarities with the far more common X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy."

Line 1:84 · Only use medical adjectival hyphens where the letters at the end and start of the compound word are the same, e.g. post-transplant. In this case, don't use the hyphen: 'pseudo-neonatal'.
