Abstract
- Peroxisomes are subcellular organells catalyzing a number of important functions in cellular metabolism. Their functions are mostly related to lipid metabolism. Genetic disorders of peroxisomes are divided into 2 categories: peroxisomal biogenesis disorders and single peroxisomal enzyme deficiencies. This paper describes an overview of the peroxisomal disorders, including metabolic basis, and clinical and laboratory findings.
