Entry term(s) enfermedad por deficiencia de betalipoproteína
enfermedad por deficiencia de la proteína de transferencia de triglicéridos microsómicos
síndrome de Bassen-Kornzweig
Scope note: Trastorno del metabolismo de los lípidos que se hereda con carácter autosómico recesivo caracterizado por la ausencia casi absoluta de APOLIPOPROTEÍNAS B y de lipoproteínas que contienen apoB en plasma. La proteína que transfiere los triglicéridos microsómicos es deficiente o está ausente en los enterocitos. Los hallazgos clínicos y de laboratorio comprenden acantocitosis, hipocolesterolemia, neuropatía periférica, degeneración de los cordones posteriores, ataxia y esteatorrea. También pueden estar afectadas las capacidades intelectuales. (Menkes, Textbook of Child Neurology, 5th ed, p118; Curr Opin Lipidol 1994 Apr;5(2):81:6)

Scope note: An autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism. It is caused by mutation of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein that catalyzes the transport of lipids (TRIGLYCERIDES; CHOLESTEROL ESTERS; PHOSPHOLIPIDS) and is required in the secretion of BETA-LIPOPROTEINS (low density lipoproteins or LDL). Features include defective intestinal lipid absorption, very low serum cholesterol level, and near absent LDL.
