We describe the main clinical and biochemical findings in 15 patients with peroxisomal disorders, together with the results of 11 prenatal investigations for Zellweger syndrome. The initial laboratory diagnosis depended in most cases on demonstration of elevated very long chain fatty acids in plasma
Peroxisomal acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) oxidase deficiency is an autosomal recessive inborn error of peroxisomal fatty acid oxidation due to a deficiency of straight-chain acyl-CoA oxidase (SCOX). The biochemical hallmark of this disorder is the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids. Although s
