Hypobetalipoproteinemia
SpecialtyEndocrinology Edit this on Wikidata

Hypobetalipoproteinemia is a disorder consisting of low levels of LDL cholesterolorapolipoprotein B,[1] below the 5th percentile.[2] The patient can have hypobetalipoproteinemia and simultaneously have high levels of HDL cholesterol.

Notably, in people who do not have the genetic disorder hypobetalipoproteinemia, a very low cholesterol level (less than 100 mg/dl) may be a marker for poor nutrition, wasting disease, cancer, hyperthyroidism, and liver disease. In 1997 a study showed that Japanese Centenarians had tenfold increase of hypobetalipoproteinemia compared with controls.

Causes[edit]

One form is thought to be caused by mutated apolipoprotein B.[3]

Another form is associated with microsomal triglyceride transfer protein which causes abetalipoproteinemia.

A third form, chylomicron retention disease (CRD), is associated with SARA2.[4]

Diagnosis[edit]

Typically in hypobetalipoproteinemia, plasma cholesterol levels will be around 80–120 mg/dL, LDL cholesterol will be around 50–80 mg/dL.[citation needed]

Treatment[edit]

Early high doses of vitamin E in infants and children has shown to be effective.[5]
