4 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSD) are a group of genetic metabolic disorders caused by a defect in peroxisome biogenesis. This results in multiple metabolic abnormalities, including elevated very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) levels. Elevated levels of C26:0-lysophosphatidylcholine (C26:0-lysoPC) have been shown in dried blood spots (DBS) from ZSD patients. However, little is known about the...
