Acatalasia

Acatalasia is an autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder caused by a complete lack of catalase. The disorder is relatively benign, although it causes an increased incidence of periodontal infections, and can under rare circumstances lead to gangrene. (From the Wikpedia article Acatalasia.)
