" /> Abetalipoproteinemia - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Abetalipoproteinemia;

Symbol : ABL;

CISMeF acronym : ABL;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Alternative titles and symbols : Mtp deficiency; Bassen-kornzweig syndrome; Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein deficiency; ACANTHOCYTOSIS;

Description : Abetalipoproteinemia and familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FBHL; 615558) are rare diseases characterized by hypocholesterolemia and malabsorption of lipid-soluble vitamins leading to retinal degeneration, neuropathy, and coagulopathy. Hepatic steatosis is also common. The root cause of both disorders is improper packaging and secretion of apolipoprotein B-containing particles. Obligate heterozygous parents of ABL patients usually have normal lipids consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance, whereas obligate heterozygous parents of FBHL patients typically have half normal levels of apoB-containing lipoproteins consistent with autosomal codominant inheritance (summary by Lee and Hegele, 2013).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene (MTP, 157147.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Abetalipoproteinemia;

Prefixed ID : #200100;
