Abstract
It is now recognized that absence of normal peroxisomal function is associated with far-reaching and devastating consequences. A group of diverse genetic disorders in which either defective formation of the peroxisome or deficiency of one or more of its constituent enzymes is the central pathogenetic feature has recently been described. Three principal conditions are discussed.Keywords
