Abstract
The paper describes a case of a newborn suffering
from severe hypotonia and drug-resistant seizures, who was
diagnosed with a “Zellweger spectrum” disease by means of
biochemical and enzymatic tests. The “Zellweger spectrum” disorders
are a group of diseases including Zellweger syndrome,
Neonatal Adrenoleukodystrophy and Refsum disease which
are considered as a “clinical and biochemical continuum”,
characterized by the loss of peroxisomal functions, caused by
molecular defects in genes coding for peroxins, proteins required
for peroxisome biogenesis.
