Descriptor síndrome de Zellweger
Entry term(s) síndrome cerebrohepatorrenal
síndrome tipo Zellweger
Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo debido a defectos de la biogénesis del PEROXISOMA que afecta a más de 13 genes que codifican proteínas peroxina de la membrana y matriz del peroxisoma. El síndrome de Zellweger se presenta típicamente en el periodo neonatal con características como cráneo dismórfico, HIPOTONÍA MUSCULAR, SORDERA NEUROSENSORIAL, compromiso visual, CONVULSIONES y degeneración progresiva del RIÑÓN e HÍGADO. El síndrome tipo Zellweger alude a los fenotipos similares al Zellweger neonatal pero observado en niños o adultos con biogénesis de peroxisomas aparentemente intacta.

Scope note: An autosomal recessive disorder due to defects in PEROXISOME biogenesis which involves more than 13 genes encoding peroxin proteins of the peroxisomal membrane and matrix. Zellweger syndrome is typically seen in the neonatal period with features such as dysmorphic skull; MUSCLE HYPOTONIA; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; visual compromise; SEIZURES; progressive degeneration of the KIDNEYS and the LIVER. Zellweger-like syndrome refers to phenotypes resembling the neonatal Zellweger syndrome but seen in children or adults with apparently intact peroxisome biogenesis.
