Pipecolic acidemia

Medical condition

Pipecolic acidemia is a very rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that is caused by a peroxisomal defect.

Quick Facts Other names, Specialty ...

Pipecolic acidemia can also be an associated component of Refsum disease with increased pipecolic acidemia (RDPA),[2] as well as other peroxisomal disorders, including both infantile and adult Refsum disease,[3][4][5] and Zellweger syndrome.[6]

The disorder is characterized by an increase in pipecolic acid levels in the blood, leading to neuropathy and hepatomegaly.[citation needed]
