Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata

Definition:

Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) is a lethal autosomal recessive disease associated with impaired peroxisomes characterized by proximal limb shortening, severely disturbed endochondrial bone formation, and mental retardation. RCDP1 is peroxisome biogenesis disorder caused by mutation of peroxisomal biogenesis factor 7(PEX7) genes. RCDP2 and RCDP3 are single peroxisomal enzyme deficiencies caused by mutation of GNPAT and AGPS. Both of them are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of ether phospholipids localized in peroxisomes.
