• The GFPD's Mission: To improve the lives of individuals with peroxisomal disorders by funding research, championing scientific collaboration, and empowering families and professionals through educational programs and support services.
• Through these connections with medical and scientific professionals and family support networks, our foundation is a resource for families who have received a diagnosis of a peroxisomal disorder in the Zellweger spectrum, (including those formally known as Neonatal Adrenoleukodystrophy (NALD) and Infantile Refsum Disease (IRD), as well as single enzyme disorders D-Bifunctional Protein Deficiency (DBPD) and Acyl-CoA Oxidase Deficiency (ACOX deficiency).
• A peroxisomal disorder on the Zellweger spectrum means that the peroxisomes in your cells aren’t working properly, are absent, or are severely decreased.
• Peroxisomes are necessary for cell function, normal brain development, and the formation of myelin.
