The Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS) comprises three overlapping clinical phenotypes defined before the identification of their common biochemical and genetic causes. First described by Bowen and Zellweger in 19641 the ZS, or cerebrohepatorenal syndrome, marks the severe end of the disease spectrum with severe neurologic impairments (muscular hypotonia, failure to thrive and seizures), typical dysmorphic features (large fontanel, wide sutures, high forehead, hypertelorism, broad nasal bridge and external ear deformity) and inner organ impairment including hepatomegaly with elevated serum concentrations of liver enzymes and renal cysts. Neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) shows a similar, but less severe clinical phenotype and infantile Refsum disease (IRD) depicts the mild end of this clinical continuum. A growing number of patients with even milder or isolated phenotypes different from these classical phenotypes are reported. These are patients with a prolonged survival, 2, 3 six patients with an unusual mild variant with progressive spastic paraparesis and ataxia due to five different PEX16 mutations, 4 patients with autosomal-recessive ataxia as the only neurological symptom due to mutations in the PEX2 and PEX10 gene, 5, 6 patients with only sensory deficits without intellectual disability at diagnosis in adulthood, 7, 8 as well as the first patient identified with a mutation in the PEX11beta gene. This patient presented with congenital cataracts, mild intellectual disability, progressive hearing loss, sensory nerve involvement, gastrointestinal problems, as well as recurrent migraine-like episodes. 9 All peroxisome biogenesis disorders leading to ZSS are inherited in a autosomal-recessive manner and can be caused by mutations in any of the 13 human PEX genes mentioned above (see 1.3). 10 PEX genes encode peroxins. These are proteins required for proper peroxisomal assembly including protein targeting and protein import.
