		Zellweger syndrome is one of a group of four related diseases called peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD), which are part of a larger group of diseases known as the leukodystrophies.
		Infants with Zellweger syndrome also lack muscle tone, sometimes to the point of being unable to move, and may not be able to suck or swallow.
		The prognosis for infants with Zellweger syndrome is poor.

	[No title]
		Summary: Cerebrohepatorenal syndrome of Zellweger (Zellweger syndrome) is a peroxisomal disease that is biochemically characterized by abnormal accumulation of very long chain fatty acid, and morphologically characterized by a neuronal migration defect, typically pachymicrogyria, affecting both the cerebral hemisphere and cerebellar hemisphere.
		Spectrum: Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD), and Infantile Refsum’s disease constitute a disease continuum of peroxisomal disorders.
		Background: Cerebrohepatorenal syndrome of Zellweger is the most severe form of peroxisomal disorder due to errors in peroxisomal biogenesis or defects in maintaining peroxisomal intergrity.
