Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder or Zellweger Spectrum Disorder (PBD - ZSD) is a genetic metabolic disorder or inborn error of metabolism. The spectrum is often broken down into three disorders. They are Zellweger syndrome (most severe), neonatal leukodystrophy (NALD) and Infant Refsum Disease (IRD) (least severe). The prognosis ranges from death within a year to survival into early adulthood with significant special needs.
