Peroxisomal disorders are a group of congenital (existing from birth) diseases characterized by the absence of normal peroxisomes in the cells of the body.

Most peroxisomal disorders are inherited autosomal recessive diseases, with X-ALD as an exception. They occur in all countries, among all races and ethnic groups. They are extremely rare.

That's order, not disorder isn't it?

Acatalasemia, which is also known as Acatalasia or Takahara's Disease, is an autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder. It is caused by the lack of catalyse enzymes in the body.
