"Normotriglyceridemic abetalipoproteinemia (ABL)" was originally described as a clinical entity distinct from either ABL or hypobetalipoproteinemia. Subsequent studies identified mutations in APOB gene which encoded truncated apoB longer than apoB48. Therefore, "Normotriglyceridemic ABL" can be a subtype of homozygous familial hypobetalipoproteinemia. Here, we report an atypical female case of ABL who was...
