What are the causes of Penta X Syndrome?

Penta X Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the X-linked gene, PEX1. This gene is responsible for the production of an enzyme called peroxisomal biogenesis factor 1 (PEX1). This enzyme is essential for the proper functioning of peroxisomes, which are small organelles found in cells that are involved in many important metabolic processes. Mutations in the PEX1 gene can lead to a variety of symptoms, including intellectual disability, seizures, vision and hearing problems, and skeletal abnormalities.
