Abstract excerpt
The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), including Zellweger syndrome (ZS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and infantile Refsum disease (IRD), are autosomal recessive diseases caused by deficiency of peroxisome assembly as well as malfunction of peroxisomes, where >10 genotypes have been reported. ZS patients manifest the most severe clinical and biochemical abnormalities, while those with NALD and IRD...
