Peroxisomal Disorders Treatment Market Segmented By Treatment Type that is Cholic acid treatment, symptomatic treatment, also by disease type that is X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), Zellweger syndrome (ZS).
Peroxisomes are the membrane-bound organelles present in the eukaryotic cells except erythrocytes with highest concentration in the liver and kidney. They are involved in catalyzing various catabolic and anabolic functions in cellular metabolism. Peroxisome disorders are autosomal recessive disorders that occurs due to malfunctioning in peroxisome biosynthesis, assembly, and associated biochemical functions.
It is estimated that 1 in 20,000 individuals in North America are affected by peroxisomal disorders. X-ALD is the most common peroxisomal disorder occurring in 1 out of 20,000 males in the U.S. Next to this, is the Zellweger syndrome occurring in early infancy which has an incidence rate of 1 out of 50,000 in the U.S. This disorder occurs in all countries, among all races and ethnic groups.
