Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of lethal autosomal-recessive diseases caused by defects in peroxisomal matrix protein import, with the concomitant loss of multiple peroxisomal enzyme activities. Ten complementation groups (CGs) have been identified for the PBDs, with CG1 accounting for 51% of all PBD patients. We identified the human orthologue of yeast PEX1, a gene required for...
