| | Peroxisomal disorders and their treatment. Manuela Martinez, M.D. |
 | | With these ideas in mind, we have treated 25 peroxisomal-disorder patients so far, three of them with classic Zellweger’s syndrome. | | | It is difficult to classify the other 22 patients since there is much confusion nowadays on the subject, as mentioned above. | | | This treatment is producing significant beneficial effects in patients with relatively mild variants of Zellweger's syndrome, and is currently been used by several other physicians in the world. |

| | Zellweger syndrome is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies that affect growth of the myelin sheath, the fatty covering — which acts as an insulator — on nerve fibers in the brain. | | | Zellweger syndrome is a rare, congenital (present at birth) disorder characterized by the reduction or absence of peroxisomes (cell structures that rid the body of toxic substances) in the cells of the liver, kidneys, and brain. | | | There is no cure for Zellweger syndrome, nor is there a standard course of treatment. |
