## Abstract Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders (PBD) are groups of inherited neurometabolic disorders caused by defects in PEX genes. We report on a female infant, born to a consanguineous parents (first degree cousins), who presented with inactivity, poor sucking, and hypotonia early in the neonatal

Abstract
We report a cytochrome c oxidase (COX)βdeficient patient, clinically affected with Leighβlike disease, with a homozygous mutation in the COX10 start codon. Twoβdimensional gel electrophoresis showed a decrease of fully assembled COX without the accumulation of partially assembled COX subcomplexes. Western blot analysis with antibodies directed to COX subunits I, II, and IV showed a decrease of these subunits in this patient compared with control. Overexpression of the COX10 protein in the patient's fibroblasts proved that the detected mutation was indeed the disease cause. Ann Neurol 2004;56:560β564

We identified a novel missense mutation in the myophosphorylase gene (PYGM) in a Spanish patient with McArdle's disease. This homozygous T-to-C transition results in the replacement of a highly conserved tryptophan at amino acid position (aa) 797 with an arginine in the C-terminal domain of the PYGM
