The evaluation of infants with the Zellweger (cerebro‐hepato‐renal) syndrome*

A brief overview of the clinicopathologic findings in the cerebro-hepato-renal syndrome of Zellweger (ZS) is presented. In order to understand more clearly the many diverse features of the ZS condition, a guideline is suggested for evaluation of a ZS infant in terms of physical features, family history, clinical pathophysiologic parameters, biopsy specimens, and postmortem procedures. The references provide rationale pertinent to the subject of discussion and/or furnish comments upon technical aspects for performance of analytical procedures.
