Pipecolic acidemia is a very rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that is caused by a peroxisomal defect.

Pipecolic acidemia can also be an associated component of Refsum disease with increased pipecolic acidemia (RDPA),^[2] as well as other peroxisomal disorders, including both infantile and adult Refsum disease,^[3][4][5] and Zellweger syndrome.^[6]

The disorder is characterized by an increase in pipecolic acid levels in the blood, leading to neuropathy and hepatomegaly.^{[citation needed]}
