Scope note: Forma de comienzo precoz de enfermedad por deposito de ácido fitánico, con signos químicos y bioquímicos diferentes de los de la ENFERMEDAD DE REFSUM. Sus síntomas son: RETASO MENTAL, HIPOACUSIA NEUROSENSORIAL, OSTEOPOROSIS y hepatopatía grave. Puede deberse a mutaciones de diversos genes codificadores de proteínas implicadas en la biogénesis o ensamblaje de PEROXISOMAS.

Scope note: An early onset form of phytanic acid storage disease with clinical and biochemical signs different from those of REFSUM DISEASE. Features include MENTAL RETARDATION; SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS; OSTEOPOROSIS; and severe liver damage. It can be caused by mutation in a number of genes encoding proteins involving in the biogenesis or assembly of PEROXISOMES.
