Diagnostic challenges and disease management in patients with a mild Zellweger spectrum disorder phenotype.

Abstract excerpt

Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders-Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD) is a rare, autosomal recessive peroxisome biogenesis disorder that presents with variable symptoms. In patients with PBD-ZSD, pathogenic variants in the PEX family of genes disrupt normal peroxisomal function, impairing α- and β-oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids and synthesis of bile acids, resulting in increased levels of toxic bile...
