Background: Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs) are a group of peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) with different variants in the PEX genes. The main biochemical marker for screening peroxisomal disorders is very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs). The study reveals a rare case of PBD in the Zellweger spectrum in which she had normal plasma VLCFA levels.

Background: Numerous studies confirmed that significant decrease in tissue decorin (DCN) expression is associated to tumor progression and metastasis in certain types of cancer including prostate cancer (PC). However, the potential prognostic value of tissue DCN in PC has not yet been investigated.

Methods: A total number of 40 PC and 42 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) were investigated for the expression levels of DCN in their prostatic tissues using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemical analyses.
