Phenotypic variability (heterogeneity) of peroxisomal disorders.

Abstract excerpt

Peroxisomes perform a multitude of biosynthetic and catabolic functions, many of which are related to lipid metabolism. Peroxisomal disorders result either from deficiency of a single peroxisomal enzyme or protein, or from a defect in the complex mechanism of peroxisomal biogenesis, resulting in deficiency of several or multiple peroxisomal functions. These can be assessed by a battery of biochemical assays,...
