U01.01.025 Peroxisome
Analyze the clinical presentation step by step โ focus on the age of onset (infant), neurologic symptoms (hypotonia, seizures), hepatomegaly, and biochemical findings such as elevated very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). Then, connect these clues to the underlying cellular defect โ here, a problem in peroxisome biogenesis. Based on that mechanism, determine which gene mutation fits…
