An autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder 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.
