Plasmalogen biosynthesis in peroxisomal disorders: fatty alcohol versus alkylglycerol precursors.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1988
In recent years a growing number of inherited diseases have been recognized to originate from an impairment in one or more peroxisomal functions. Since it is well established that the first two steps in the biosynthesis of plasmalogens proceed in ...

Metabolism of phytanic acid and 3-methyl-adipic acid excretion in patients with adult Refsum disease

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003
Adult Refsum disease (ARD) is associated with defective α-oxidation of phytanic acid (PA). ω-Oxidation of PA to 3-methyl-adipic acid (3-MAA) occurs although its clinical significance is unclear.

Refsum disease: a defect in the alpha-oxidation of phytanic acid in peroxisomes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
The oxidation of phytanic acid to pristanic acid was previously demonstrated to be deficient in monolayer cultures of skin fibroblasts (Herndon et al. 1969. J. Clin. Invest. 48: 1017-1032).

Genetic insights into PHARC syndrome: identification of a novel frameshift mutation in ABHD12

BMC Medical Genomics, 2023
Background Mutations in ABHD12 (OMIM: 613,599) are associated with polyneuropathy, hearing loss, ataxia, retinitis pigmentosa, and cataract (PHARC) syndrome (OMIM: 612674), which is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease.
