Twenty five human peroxisomal disorders have been defined at this time. They are subdivided into two major categories: 1) the disorders of peroxisome biogenesis, in which the organelle fails to form normally, and there are defects that involve multiple peroxisomal functions; and 2) disorders that affect single peroxisomal enzymes.
