                                Affecting approximately 1 in 1,000,000 people, Refsum syndrome is a rare genetic disorder requiring strict dietary management to control the accumulation of a toxic fatty acid. The primary treatment for managing this condition is a low phytanic acid diet, which is crucial for preventing the buildup that can lead to severe neurological and sensory symptoms.
