Description : Sitosterolemia, also known as phytosterolemia, is an autosomal recessive metabolic
condition characterized by unrestricted intestinal absorption of both cholesterol
and plant-derived cholesterol-like molecules, such as sitosterol. Patients with this
disorder have very high levels of plant sterols in the plasma and develop tendon and
tuberous xanthomas, accelerated atherosclerosis, and premature coronary artery disease
(summary by Berge et al., 2000).;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 8 gene (ABCG8,
605460.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Elevated plasma beta-sitosterol (sitosterolemia or phytosterolemia); Hyperapobetalipoproteinemia; Elevated plasma campesterol; Elevated plasma stigmasterol; Microsomal HMG-CoA reductase decreased; Hypercholesterolemia (elevated plasma cholesterol);
