2017 Scientific Initiatives
We are Helping Hands
Our Mission
The mission of the GFPD is to fund and promote peroxisome disorder research and to assist families and professionals through educational programs and support services related to Zellweger spectrum disorders.
Our Work
Through these connections with medical and scientific professionals and family support networks, our foundation is a resource for families who have received a diagnosis of a peroxisomal disorder in the Zellweger spectrum
Our History
In the days before the GFPD was founded, families were just beginning to use the Internet to connect, discovering that other families like theirs were out there. John Harris moderated a website and an email list-serve for families
