Retinitis pigmentosa in mevalonate kinase deficiency.

abstract：:In patients with cerebro-hepato-renal (Zellweger) syndrome, the absence of peroxisomes results in an impairment of metabolic processes in which peroxisomes are normally involved. These include the catabolism of very long chain (greater than C22) fatty acids, the biosynthesis of ether-phospholipids and of bile acids, t...
