Vertebral Coronal Clefts
•Failure of fusion of anterior and posterior ossification centers•Best seen on lateral Xray films•Radiolucent band running through the vertebral bodies

Enzymatic pathways in Peroxisomes
![Page 21: Case - Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f0132c1a28abb6208b4665/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Classification•Multiple enzyme deficiencies:Peroxisomal
Biogenesis Disorders (PBD) ▫Zellweger spectrum disorder▫Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata
spectrum (RCDP)▫Neonatal ALD▫Infantile Refsum disease
•Single enzyme deficiencies▫X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD)▫Acyl-CoA oxidase deficiency▫Adult Refsum disease▫Hyperoxaluria Type I
![Page 22: Case - Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f0132c1a28abb6208b4665/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Diagnosis & Testing of RCDPBiochemical tests:
• Deficiency of plasmalogens in RBC’s
• Elevated plasma concentration of phytanic acid
• Normal plasma VLCFA
Done in limited no. Of laboratories worldwide
Assays in cultured skin fibroblasts
• Possible to demonstrate defective plasmalogen biosynthesis,
defective phytanic acid oxidation and normal VLCFA oxidation
![Page 23: Case - Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f0132c1a28abb6208b4665/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Genetic Testing• Autosomal Recessive
• Three types of RCDP – same clinical phenotype
• Type 1 – Mutations in PEX7 gene encodes for peroxisomal type 2 targeting signal receptor. Located at 6q22-q24
• Type 2 – deficiency of the peroxisomal enzyme dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase, encoded by GNPAT
• Type 3 - deficiency of the alkyl-dihydroxyacetone phosphate synthase, encoded by AGPS
![Page 24: Case - Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata](https://reader035.vdocuments.pub/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f0132c1a28abb6208b4665/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• Diagnosis is by sequencing of the genes
• Correlations between the predicted severity
of PEX7 pathogenic variants and phenotype
• Homozygosity for the p.Leu292Ter pathogenic variant
have classic RCDP1.
• Phenotype of Compound heterozygotes
for p.Leu292Ter and another pathogenic
variant,depends on the other allele.
Several PEX7 alleles that are associated with a milder
RCDP phenotype, adult Refsum disease,
or isolated congenital cataracts have been identified
