autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder, also known as Zellweger syndrome, that typically presents in the neonatal period and is usually fatal; clinical features include hypotonia, dysmorphic skull and facial bones, visual compromise, multifocal seizures, hepatomegaly, biliary dysgenesis, and swallowing difficulties; pathologically, there are migration deficits of the neocortex and degeneration of white matter tracts; Zellweger-like syndrome refers to conditions that phenotypically resemble neonatal Zellweger syndrome, but occur in childhood or adulthood.
