Scope note: Trastorno autosómico recesivo del metabolismo de las lipoproteínas, causado por la mutación del gen de la LECITINA COLESTEROL ACILTRANSFERASA. Se caracteriza por bajas concentraciones de colesterol de HDL y la triada de OPACIDAD CORNEAL, ANEMIA HEMOLÍTICA y PROTEINURIA con insuficiencia renal.
