PBD can refer to two different things: Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder and Privacy by Design.
-
Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorder (PBD) is a group of rare, autosomal recessive disorders in which peroxisome assembly is impaired, leading to multiple peroxisome enzyme deficiencies, complex developmental sequelae, and progressive disabilities. Mammalian peroxisome assembly involves the protein products of 16 PEX genes; defects in 14 of these have been shown to cause PBD. Three broad phenotypic groups are described on a spectrum of severity: Zellweger syndrome is the most severe, neonatal adrenoleukodystrophy is intermediate, and infantile Refsum disease is less severe.
-
Privacy by Design (PbD) is an approach to protecting privacy by embedding it into the design specifications of technologies, business practices, and physical infrastructures.
It is important to note that PBD is a medical condition, while PbD is a concept related to privacy protection.
