  <name>3L,7D,11D-Phytanic acid</name>
  <description>3L,7D,11D-Phytanic acid  is an isomer of Phytanic acid, an unusual 20-carbon branched-chain fatty acid; Phytanic acid accumulates in blood and tissues of patients with Refsum disease (RD, an inborn error of lipid metabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait (OMIM 266500)), and is a reliably identifier of RD from a large number of other neurological disorders.
Phytanic acid also accumulates in a number of other disorders with a very different clinical course: disorders of peroxisome biogenesis (Zellweger syndrome (OMIM 214100), neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy  (OMIM 202370), infantile Refsum disease  (OMIM 266510)) and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata, type 1 (OMIM 215100).
Phytanic acid is a 3-methyl fatty acid that cannot be beta-oxidized directly, and first undergoes an alpha-oxidation a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme phytanoyl-CoA hydroxylase, which is deficient in RD, the only true disorder of phytanic acid alpha-oxidation.
