ABSTRACT
Zellweger spectrum disorder (ZSD) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in any one of the 13 PEX genes essential for peroxisomal biogenesis. We report a cohort of nine infants who presented at birth with severe neonatal features suggestive of ZSD and found to be homozygous for a variant in PEX6 (NM_000287.4c.1409G > C[p.Gly470Ala]). All were of Mixtec ancestry and identified by the California Newborn Screening (NBS) Program to have elevated C260-lysophosphatidylcholine but no reportable variants in ABCD1. The clinical and biochemical features of this cohort are described within. Gly470Ala may represent a founder variant in the Mixtec population of Central California. ZSD should be considered in patients who present at birth with severe hypotonia and enlarged fontanelles, especially in the setting of an abnormal NBS, Mixtec ancestry, or family history of infant death. There is a need to further characterize the natural history of ZSD, the Gly470Ala variant, and expand upon possible genotype-phenotype correlations.
