Zellweger syndrome , ZS (Abkürzung)
cerebrohepatorenal syndrome

Zellweger syndrome can also affect the function of many other organ systems.

Although all have a similar molecular basis for disease, Zellweger syndrome is the most severe of these three disorders.

Typically, Zellweger syndrome patients show elevated very long chain fatty acids in their blood plasma.

Currently, there is no cure for Zellweger syndrome, nor is there a standard course of treatment.

In Zellweger syndrome, epicanthic folds are prominent.

Zellweger syndrome.

Zellweger syndrome is associated with impaired neuronal migration, neuronal positioning, and brain development.

Together with phytanic acid, pristanic acid accumulates in several inherited disorders such as Zellweger syndrome.

D-BP deficiency is the most severe peroxisomal disorder, often resembling Zellweger syndrome.

D-BP can be distinguished from Zellweger Syndrome by normal plasmalogen synthesis.

Although they share a similar molecular basis for disease, Infantile Refsum disease is less severe than Zellweger syndrome.

Diseases associated with dysfunctional PTS1R receptors include X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy and Zellweger syndrome.

Zellweger syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in genes that encode peroxins, proteins required for the normal assembly of peroxisomes.

Mutations in this gene have been associated with complementation group 1 peroxisomal disorders such as neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, infantile Refsum disease, and Zellweger syndrome.

The other two disorders are Zellweger syndrome (ZS) and neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD).

Pachygyria has not previously been reported as associated with non-ketotic hyperglycinaemia but has been recognized as a radiological feature in children with Zellweger syndrome.

Zellweger syndrome is the most severe form; neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy is the intermediate form; and infantile Refsum disease is the mildest form.

These are disorders of the peroxisomes that are clinically similar to Zellweger syndrome and associated with mutations in the PEX family of genes.

Zellweger syndrome, also called cerebrohepatorenal syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by the reduction or absence of functional peroxisomes in the cells of an individual.

In addition, individuals with Zellweger syndrome can show a reduction in central nervous system (CNS) myelin (particularly cerebral), which is referred to as hypomyelination.

PBD-ZSD represents a continuum of disorders including infantile Refsum disease, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, and Zellweger syndrome.

An inactivating nonsense mutation localized to this gene was observed in a patient with Zellweger syndrome of the complementation group CGD/CG9.

Mutations in this gene result in phenotypes within the Zellweger spectrum of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders, ranging from neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy to Zellweger syndrome.

In addition to genetic tests involving the sequencing of PEX genes, biochemical tests have proven highly effective for the diagnosis of Zellweger syndrome and other peroxisomal disorders.

Zellweger Syndrome is characterized by a cortical dysplasia similar to polymicrogyria of cerebral and cerebellar cortex, occasionally with pachygyria surrounding the Sylvian fissure, and focal/subependymal heterotopia.

Zellweger syndrome, also called cerebrohepatorenal syndrome, is a rare congenital disorder, characterized by the reduction or absence of functional peroxisomes in the cells of an individual.
