Identification of novel mutations in PEX2, PEX6, PEX10, PEX12, and PEX13 in Zellweger spectrum patients.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in each of the 13 identified human PEX genes are known to cause a peroxisomal biogenesis defect (PBD). Affected patients can be divided into two broad clinical spectra: the Zellweger spectrum, which accounts for about 80% of PBD patients, and the rhizomelia chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) spectrum. The clinical continuum of Zellweger spectrum patients extends from Zellweger syndrome (ZS) as the...
