Abstract

Peroxisomal disorders (PD) are genetic disorders caused by peroxisome dysfunction and are classified into two groups: genetic defects in peroxisome-localized proteins and genetic defects in peroxisomal biogenesis. The dawn of PD research came with the detailed analysis of the Zellweger syndrome, the prototype of PD. Even recently, new PD are still being identified by whole-exome sequencing analysis, which means that the concept of PD has been expanding. Furthermore, the role of peroxisome in cancer and age-related diseases has also been studied. In contrast, PD pathophysiology and treatment are not clarified yet completely and even in adrenoleukodystrophy, which is the most common PD, the prognosis of phenotype and disease in pre-symptomatic patients is a difficult task.

In this chapter, various types of PD based on patient clinical data will be described, which will be useful to researchers and clinicians. I hope that this chapter will be a valuable aid to many researchers and clinicians in a conjoint effort to overcome this intractable disease.
