    ABETALIPOPROTEINEMIA
    DEFINITION:
    A disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by fat malabsorption, acanthocytosis, retinopathy, and progressive neurologic disease.
    EPIDEMIOLOGY:
    • incidence: rare
    • age of onset:
      • 1st year (gastrointestinal manifestations)
      • first 10 years (neurologic and ocular manifestations)
    • risk factors:
      • familial - autosomal recessive
        • chrom. #: ?2p24
        • gene: ?
      • PATHOGENESIS:
        1. Background
        • cholesterol and triglycerides are transported in the circulation in macromolecular complexes called lipoproteins
        • the protein component of lipoproteins are called apolipoproteins
        • abetalipoproteinemia is considered to be a defect in the absorption and transport of lipids
        • heterozygotes are asymptomatic

    Elsewhere on the Web Discussion group By Mary Kugler, MSN, RN,C About.com Guide to Rare/Orphan Diseases July 26, 2001 What is it? Abetalipoproteinemia (also known as Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome) is an inherited disorder that affects how fats are made and used in the body. The body needs fats for healthy nerves, muscles, and digestion. Like oil and water, fats can't travel in the blood around the body by themselves-they just don't mix in. Fats attach to special proteins called lipoproteins to travel to wherever they're needed. Because of a genetic disorder, people with abetalipoproteinemia don't produce a critical "building block" (a special protein) for making lipoproteins. Without enough lipoproteins, fats can't be digested properly or travel around the body to where they're needed, which leads to serious health problems.

It results in fatty stools, diarrhea, failure to thrive in infancy, and problems with nerves.
    Causes, Incidence, and Risk Factors
    Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that affects both sexes, but predominantly males (70%). It is due to mutations in one of two genes: apolipoprotein B (APOB) or microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). The syndrome causes the body not to make lipoproteins (molecules of fat combined with protein ) including low-density lipoproteins ( LDL ), very-low-density lipoproteins ( VLDL ), and chylomicrons (small molecules of fat in the blood).
    People with this disease are unable to properly digest fat, and have underdeveloped nerves (neuropathy), poor muscle coordination (
