## Summary

**Recognition of October 5 as National Peroxisomal Disorder Awareness Day** would spotlight peroxisomal disorders, a group of progressive genetic conditions that impair peroxisome function and can harm the brain, liver, kidneys, vision, hearing, and other systems. The resolution highlights that few treatments exist and no cure is known, notes the heavy health and financial burdens on patients and caregivers, raises concerns about discrimination and depression risk, and says awareness on October 5 could help reduce barriers to diagnosis, care, and investment in new therapies.
