Aim: To explore, in one patient, the possibility that D-bifunctional protein (D-BP) deficiency affects telomere length, and to determine the profile of genetic expression. Presentation of Case: Due to the symptoms of a newborn and his family background, a peroxisomal panel was performed. There were high levels of very long chain fatty acids and abnormal peroxisomes. At 8 months the patient exhibited other complications, including progressive multi systemic deterioration, and at 15 months died… CONTINUE READING
