Gene expression profiles of fibroblasts and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from individuals with Zellweger spectrum disorder (ZSD), a class of peroxisome biogenesis disorder, and healthy controls

Zellweger spectrum disorder (PBD-ZSD) is a disease continuum caused by mutations in a subset of PEX genes required for normal peroxisome assembly and function. Their clinical manifestations highlight the importance of peroxisomes in the development and functions of the central nervous system, liver, and other organs. We reprogrammed skin fibroblasts from PBD-ZSD patients into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and report their gene expression profiles as well as those of matching healthy controls.
