Additional Information:

Description: (OMIM) AMACR deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder characterized by adult onset of variable neurodegenerative symptoms affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. Features may include seizures, visual failure, sensorimotor neuropathy, spasticity, migraine, and white matter hyperintensities ...
Clinical Description OMIM Ferdinandusse et al. (2000) reported 2 unrelated patients of European descent with a neurologic disorder associated with elevated plasma concentrations of pristanic acid (a branched-chain fatty acid) and the C27 bile acid intermediates di- and trihydroxycholestanoic acid (DHCA ...
Molecular genetics OMIM In 2 unrelated patients with adult-onset sensorimotor neuropathy and alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) deficiency, Ferdinandusse et al. (2000) identified the same homozygous mutation in the AMACR gene (S52P; 604489.0001). The mutation resulted in a complete loss of enzyme activity. ...
