Abstract excerpt
We report the clinical phenotype in three kindreds with familial heterozygous hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) carrying novel truncated apolipoprotein Bs (apoBs) of different sizes (apoB-8.15, apoB-33.4 and apoB-75.7). In D.A. kindred, we found three carriers of a C-deletion in exon 10 leading to the synthesis of apoB-8.15 not detectable in plasma. They showed steatorrhea and fatty liver. In N.L. kindred, the...
