Zellweger syndrome is caused by mutations in genes that are involved in the formation of peroxisomes, which are cell structures responsible for breaking down fatty acids. These mutations lead to the absence or dysfunction of peroxisomes in cells, resulting in the accumulation of toxic substances and causing the characteristic symptoms of the syndrome.
in Zellweger syndrome, these cells appear to have ghost-like peroxisomes, which are caused by an absence of specific proteins inside the organelles that are recruited into the membranes.
Zellweger syndrome affects peroxisomes, which are organelles responsible for breaking down fatty acids and eliminating toxins from the body. In individuals with Zellweger syndrome, peroxisomes are unable to function properly, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances in the body and causing severe health problems. This can result in developmental delays, vision and hearing problems, and other serious complications.
Deletion Syndrome or Williams Syndrome
NO, it is caused by the Trisomy of the human chromosome 21
Yes, Angelman syndrome is caused by a mutation in a gene called UBE3A. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that is vital for normal brain function. The mutation leads to the characteristic symptoms of Angelman syndrome.
Zellweger syndrome is caused by mutations in any one of at least 12 genes ; mutations in the PEX1 gene are the most common cause. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. There is no cure for Zellweger syndrome; treatment is generally symptomatic and supportive.
Zellweger syndrome is autosomal recessive.
in Zellweger syndrome, these cells appear to have ghost-like peroxisomes, which are caused by an absence of specific proteins inside the organelles that are recruited into the membranes.
There is no cure for Zellweger syndrome and treatment is based solely on lessening the symptoms and supporting the involved organs.
The incidence of Zellweger syndrome worldwide is roughly one in 100,000 births.

Typically, babies with Zellweger syndrome have severe weakness, hyptonia (loss of muscle tone), and often have neonatal seizures
The oldest known individual with Zellweger syndrome lived into their late 30s. Zellweger syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that typically leads to severe physical and developmental disabilities, with most individuals succumbing to complications in infancy or early childhood.
disease you can get from another person or animal
Zellweger syndrome is diagnosed by measuring metabolic compounds in blood samples from patients. Various fatty acids, plasmalogens, pipecolic acid, and bile acid intermediates are usually studied
From wikipedia.com Zellweger syndrome, also called cerebrohepatorenal syndrome is a rare, congenital disorder (present at birth), 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.
Zellweger syndrome is a rare genetic disorder with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 100,000 births. This translates to less than 0.001% of the population being affected by Zellweger syndrome.
