| Abstract | Peroxisomal biogenesis disorders represent a group of genetically heterogeneous conditions that have in common failure of proper peroxisomal assembly. Clinically, they are characterized by a spectrum of dysmorphia, neurological, liver, and other organ involvement. To date, mutations in 13 PEX genes encoding peroxins have been identified in patients with peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. Mutations in PEX13, which encodes peroxisomal membrane protein PEX13, are among the least common causes of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders with only three mutations reported so far. Here, we report on two infants whose clinical and biochemical profile was consistent with classical Zellweger syndrome and whose complementation analysis assigned them both to group H of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. We show that they harbor two novel mutations in PEX13. One patient had a genomic rearrangement resulting in a 147 kb deletion that spans the whole of PEX13, while the other had an out-of-frame deletion of 14 bp. This represents the first report of a PEX13 deletion and suggests that further work is needed to examine the frequency of PEX13 mutations among Arab patients with peroxisomal biogenesis disorders. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
