Green List (high evidence)

More than 3 unrelated families with severe disease reported for both phenotypes
Zellweger syndrome is associated with lethality in the first year of life, strong evidence of mutations in PEX2 gene
Peroxisome biogenesis disorder 5B, is a milder form of Zellweger syndrome, however also shows lethality early in life but children may reach their teens in some cases
