Zellweger Spectrum Disorders: Clinical Overview and Management Approach Femke C Klouwer et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2015) 10:151 DOI 10.1186/s13023-015-0368-9 REVIEW Open Access Zellweger spectrum disorders: clinical overview and management approach Femke C. C. Klouwer1,2†, Kevin Berendse1,2†, Sacha Ferdinandusse2, Ronald J. A. Wanders2, Marc Engelen1 and Bwee Tien Poll-The1* Abstract Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) represent the major subgroup within the peroxisomal biogenesis disorders caused by defects in PEX genes. The Zellweger spectrum is a clinical and biochemical continuum which can roughly be divided into three clinical phenotypes. Patients can present in the neonatal period with severe symptoms or later in life during adolescence or adulthood with only minor features. A defect of functional peroxisomes results in several metabolic abnormalities, which in most cases can be detected in blood and urine. There is currently no curative therapy, but supportive care is available. This review focuses on the management of patients with a ZSD and provides recommendations for supportive therapeutic options for all those involved in the care for ZSD patients.

Recently, Heimler syndrome was recognized as a and are caused by mutations in one of 13 PEX genes peroxisome biogenesis disorder within the Zellweger [1–3]. Because of the defect in peroxisome formation, spectrum and added to the (very) mild end of the clinical multiple metabolic (both catabolic and anabolic) pathways spectrum [7].

Clinically, Disease names and synonyms ZSDs are highly heterogeneous, but the core features are: Zellweger spectrum disorder/Zellweger syndrome liver dysfunction, developmental delay and other neuro- spectrum/Zellweger syndrome/neonatal adrenoleuko- logical abnormalities, adrenocortical dysfunction and dystrophy/infantile Refsum disease/Heimler syndrome hearing- and vision impairment [5].

    Peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme deficiency. P A Watkins, … , A B Moser, M E Beard J Clin Invest. 1989;83(3):771-777. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI113956. Research Article Peroxisomal function was evaluated in a male infant with clinical features of neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy. Very long chain fatty acid levels were elevated in both plasma and fibroblasts, and beta-oxidation of very long chain fatty acids in cultured fibroblasts was significantly impaired. Although the level of the bile acid intermediate trihydroxycoprostanoic acid was slightly elevated in plasma, phytanic acid and L-pipecolic acid levels were normal, as was plasmalogen synthesis in cultured fibroblasts. The latter three parameters distinguish this case from classical neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy. In addition, electron microscopy and catalase subcellular distribution studies revealed that, in contrast to neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy, peroxisomes were present in the patient's tissues. Immunoblot studies of peroxisomal beta- oxidation enzymes revealed that the bifunctional enzyme (enoyl-CoA hydratase/3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase) was deficient in postmortem liver samples, whereas acyl-CoA oxidase and the mature form of beta-ketothiolase were present. Density gradient centrifugation of fibroblast homogenates confirmed that intact peroxisomes were present. Immunoblots of fibroblasts peroxisomal fractions showed that they contained acyl-CoA oxidase and beta-ketothiolase, but bifunctional enzyme was not detected. Northern analysis, however, revealed that mRNA coding for the bifunctional enzyme was present in the patient's fibroblasts. These results indicate that the primary biochemical defect in this patient is a deficiency of peroxisomal bifunctional enzyme. It is of interest that the phenotype of this patient resembled neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and would not have been […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/113956/pdf Peroxisomal Bifunctional Enzyme Deficiency Paul A.

  • Zellweger Spectrum Disorder
    ZELLWEGER SPECTRUM DISORDER What is it? Zellweger Spectrum Disorder (ZSD) was recently viewed as 3 separate diseases but today is categorized as set of disorders that form a spectrum, or continuum, of 1 disease. This spectrum can range from mild Infantile Refsum Disease (IRD), to moderate Neonatal Adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), to severe Zellweger Syndrome (ZS) ZSD is also known as peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs). These disorders are caused by a loss of function in important parts of your cells called “peroxisomes,” which are responsible for breaking down fats and chemicals and getting rid of waste so that your body can function properly. This disorder can affect many parts of the body from the eyes to the liver. The various body systems and functions as described below. Nutrition Malabsorption of nutrients can lead to poor growth, feeding problems, and deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins. Hearing Varying degree of hearing loss requires the child receive a yearly evaluation . Vision Vision loss is the most common problem. Neurological Improper development of the white matter in the brain (leukodystrophy) results in nerve damage and can potentially affect their development. Damage to the nerves that send information from the brain to the rest of the body (peripheral neuropathy) can often cause numbness or weakness in the hands and/or feet. Walking abnormality is the main neurological complication in adults with ZSDs. In people with mild forms of ZSDs, nerve damage to the muscles, skin, and internal organs usually begins during adolescence. Kidney Kidney issues occur in children 4 years and older and include kidney stones, kidney cyst, and kidney failure.

  • Blueprint Genetics Comprehensive Growth Disorders / Skeletal
    Comprehensive Growth Disorders / Skeletal Dysplasias and Disorders Panel Test code: MA4301 Is a 374 gene panel that includes assessment of non-coding variants. This panel covers the majority of the genes listed in the Nosology 2015 (PMID: 26394607) and all genes in our Malformation category that cause growth retardation, short stature or skeletal dysplasia and is therefore a powerful diagnostic tool. It is ideal for patients suspected to have a syndromic or an isolated growth disorder or a skeletal dysplasia. About Comprehensive Growth Disorders / Skeletal Dysplasias and Disorders This panel covers a broad spectrum of diseases associated with growth retardation, short stature or skeletal dysplasia. Many of these conditions have overlapping features which can make clinical diagnosis a challenge. Genetic diagnostics is therefore the most efficient way to subtype the diseases and enable individualized treatment and management decisions. Moreover, detection of causative mutations establishes the mode of inheritance in the family which is essential for informed genetic counseling.

Abstract: Syndromic hereditary hearing impairment (HHI) is a clinically and etiologically diverse condition that has a profound influence on affected individuals and their families. As cutaneous findings are more apparent than hearing-related symptoms to clinicians and, more importantly, to caregivers of affected infants and young individuals, establishing a correlation map of skin manifestations and their underlying genetic causes is key to early identification and diagnosis of syndromic HHI. In this article, we performed a comprehensive PubMed database search on syndromic HHI with cutaneous abnormalities, and reviewed a total of 260 relevant publications.
