Diseases of the Zellweger spectrum represent a major subgroup of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders, a group of autosomal-recessive diseases that are characterized by widespread tissue pathology, including neurodegeneration. The Zellweger spectrum represents a clinical continuum, with Zellweger syn

The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) are a group of neuronal migration/neurodegenerative disorders that arise from defects in PEX genes. A major subgroup of the PBDs includes Zellweger syndrome (ZS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), and infantile Refsum disease (IRD). These three disorder
## 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
