peroxisomal disease

peroxisomal disease

Any of a heterogeneous group of diseases in which peroxisomes are either lacking or markedly ↓, resulting in metabolic defects in all major biosynthetic peroxisomal pathways and failure to synthesize lipids or oxidize long-chain fatty acids Examples Zellweger's cerebrohepatorenal syndrome, rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, hyperpipecolic acidemia

Samples from patients with peroxisomal disease were selected based on previously determined VLCFA values as determined by GC-MS and literature reference intervals (see Table 2) (18,19).
However, the values for L-PA in this particular pediatric population should be studied to determine cutoff values from early-onset peroxisomal disease patients.
From a diagnostic standpoint, the measurement of PA is considered as a supplementary test for peroxisomal diseases following the analysis of plasma very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), bile acids, phytanic acid, and pristanic acid.
To our knowledge, the only published studies of the stereochemistry of PA in patients with peroxisomal diseases vs healthy individuals were those of Armstrong and coworkers (16,17).
