Abstract

Defects in PEX genes impair peroxisome assembly and multiple metabolic pathways confined to this organelle, thus providing the biochemical and molecular bases of the peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBD). PBD are divided into two types--Zellweger syndrome spectrum (ZSS) and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP). Biochemical studies performed in blood and urine are used to screen for the PBD. DNA testing is possible for all of the disorders, but is more challenging for the ZSS since 12 PEX genes are known to be associated with this spectrum of PBD. In contrast, PBD-RCDP is associated with defects in the PEX7 gene alone. Studies of the cellular and molecular defects in PBD patients have contributed significantly to our understanding of the role of each PEX gene in peroxisome assembly.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • A genotype-phenotype correlation has been described for PEX gene mutations.

    “However, a genotype-phenotype correlation has been described for PEX gene mutations [45].”

    From Peroxisomes in brain development and function (2016) · cites this paper as [45]

  • There are no clear boundaries between Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and infantile Refsum disease, as they can all be caused by mutations in the same gene.

    “The identification of PBD complementation groups and their genetic basis has revealed that there are no clear boundaries between Zellweger syndrome, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy and infantile Refsum disease, as they can all be caused by mutations in the same gene.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
