What are Zellweger Spectrum Disorders?
Zellweger Spectrum Disorders are a group of rare, genetic, multisystem disorders that were once thought to be separate entities. These disorders are now classified as different expressions of one disease process. Zellweger Syndrome is the most severe form; Neonatal Adrenoleukodystrophy is the intermediate form; and Infantile Refsum Disease is the mildest form. Zellweger Spectrum Disorders can affect most organs of the body.

• ZES

What is Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES)?
Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome (ZES) is characterized by the development of a tumor or tumors that secrete excessive levels of gastrin, a hormone that stimulates production of acid by the stomach. Many affected individuals develop multiple gastrinomas, which are thought to have the potential to be cancerous. In most cases, the tumors arise within the pancreas and/or the upper region of the small intestine (duodenum). Due to excessive acid production, individuals with ZES may develop peptic ulcers of the stomach, the duodenum, and/or other regions of the digestive tract.
