Abstract excerpt
Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a co-dominant disorder either linked or not linked to apolipoprotein (apo) B gene. Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a recessive disorder due to mutations of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) gene. We investigated a patient with apparently recessive hypobetalipoproteinemia consistent with symptomatic heterozygous FHBL or a "mild" form of ABL. The proband had...
