Treatment There is currently no cure for the disease and no standard treatment. Treatments that are available can only help with the symptoms—they are not able to strike at the cause.[wmrf.org]
Genetic testing of these genes may confirm a diagnosis and help guide treatment and management decisions.[invitae.com]
Molecular analysis is likely to expand the clinical spectrum of PBD and may also provide data relevant to prognosis and future therapeutic intervention. However, the large number of genes involved has thus far impeded rapid mutation identification.[jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
There is no curative treatment and the condition carries a poor prognosis with death occurring within the first year of life.[radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis Regardless of interventions, prognosis is poor with most infants dying within the first year of life secondary to respiratory compromise related to infection or intractable epilepsy.[orpha.net]
What is the prognosis for a person with Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder Type 6? ZSS usually reduces a person's lifespan. The prognosis for an infant with ZS is poor.[counsyl.com]
This systematic, hierarchical approach to mutation identification is therefore a valuable tool to identify rapidly the molecular etiology of suspected PBD-ZSS disorders.[jhu.pure.elsevier.com]
Etiology PBD-ZSS is caused by mutations in one of 13 PEX genes encoding peroxins. Mutations in these genes lead to abnormal peroxisome biogenesis.[orpha.net]
