Zellweger syndrome is characterized by presentation in the neonatal period with profound hypotonia, characteristic facies, seizures, inability to feed, liver cysts with hepatic dysfunction, and chondrodysplasia punctata. Infants with this condition are significantly impaired and usually die during the first year of life, usually having made no developmental progress. Death is usually secondary to progressive apnea or respiratory compromise from infection.
