Disease IDSourceNameDescription
614863 OMIMPeroxisome biogenesis disorder 4B (PBD4B)A peroxisome biogenesis disorder that includes neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and infantile Refsum disease (IRD), two milder manifestations of the Zellweger disease spectrum. The clinical course of patients with the NALD and IRD presentation is variable and may include developmental delay, hypotonia, liver dysfunction, sensorineural hearing loss, retinal dystrophy and vision impairment. Children with the NALD presentation may reach their teens, while patients with the IRD presentation may reach adulthood. The clinical conditions are often slowly progressive in particular with respect to loss of hearing and vision. The biochemical abnormalities include accumulation of phytanic acid, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA), di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid and pipecolic acid. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
616617 OMIMHeimler syndrome 2 (HMLR2)A form of Heimler syndrome, a very mild peroxisome biogenesis disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, amelogenesis imperfecta resulting in enamel hyoplasia of the secondary dentition, nail defects, and occasional or late-onset retinal pigmentation abnormalities. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
614862 OMIMPeroxisome biogenesis disorder complementation group 4 (PBD-CG4)A peroxisomal disorder arising from a failure of protein import into the peroxisomal membrane or matrix. The peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD group) are genetically heterogeneous with at least 14 distinct genetic groups as concluded from complementation studies. Include disorders are: Zellweger syndrome (ZWS), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), infantile Refsum disease (IRD), and classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). ZWS, NALD and IRD are distinct from RCDP and constitute a clinical continuum of overlapping phenotypes known as the Zellweger spectrum (PBD-ZSS). The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
