Of the deficits unrelated to the glycolipids which show an abundant clinical literature but less interest manifested by scientists in the field of lipidomics are ceroid lipofuscinosis (the deficiency in palmitoyl-protein thioesterase (PPT)) and the Sjogren-Larsson syndrome, a defect of ALDH3A2 gene which encodes fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (FALDH). It is pertinent to question the reason for such differences between clinical and basic scientific interests reflected in literature citations. 

The syndrome is caused by a particular mutation in the gene encoding fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase (gene FALDH3A2). About 1.3% of the population of northern Sweden is heterozygous for the defective gene.
