Peroxisomal Disorders

Le résumé fourni par la source

Disorders of the peroxisome are divided into two major categories. In the first, the organelle fails to develop normally, leading to disruption of multiple peroxisomal enzymes. The second category consists of those disorders in which the peroxisome structure is normal but functioning of a single peroxisomal enzyme or protein is defective. While there is an expanding list of disorders in both categories, this chapter focuses on X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, the most common peroxisomal disorder, and on peroxisomal assembly/biogenesis disorders.
