Inherited peroxisomal disorders affect multiple organs, often impacting the nervous system. This review details their pathology, classification, and diagnosis using various microscopic and genetic methods.

Area of Science:

  • Cell Biology
  • Genetics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Peroxisomes are vital single-membrane organelles involved in diverse metabolic functions.
  • Inherited peroxisomal disorders are multiorgan conditions frequently affecting the nervous system.
  • These disorders arise from absent or impaired peroxisomal function.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of inherited peroxisomal disorders.
  • To detail the microscopic pathology and classification of these conditions.
  • To highlight diagnostic approaches and ongoing research.

Main Methods:

  • Review of literature and laboratory experience with patient samples (liver, chorion, adrenal, kidney, brain).
  • Application of light and electron microscopy, enzyme/immunocytochemistry, polarizing microscopy, and morphometry.

  • Genetic classification using fibroblast complementation into 12 groups.

    • Main Results:

    • Categorization of peroxisomal disorders into three groups based on peroxisome presence/absence in liver samples, including 9 novel variants.
    • Identification of specific pathological markers like renal microcysts and polarizing trilamellar inclusions.
    • Classification of peroxisome biogenesis disorders into 12 complementation groups based on genetic analysis.

    Conclusions:

    • A multi-method approach aids in diagnosing and characterizing peroxisomal disorders.
    • Microscopic and genetic findings are crucial for classification and identifying new variants.
    • Further research into peroxisome biogenesis genes and therapeutic strategies is ongoing.
