Abstract excerpt
Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD), including Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, and infantile Refsum disease, are a group of genetically heterogeneous autosomal-recessive diseases caused by mutations in PEX genes that encode peroxins, proteins required for peroxisome biogenesis. Zellweger syndrome patients present the most severe phenotype, whereas neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy patients are...
