Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a co-dominant disorder either linked or not linked to apolipoprotein (apo) B gene. Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a recessive disorder due to mutations of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) gene. We investigated a patient with apparently recessive hypobetalipoproteinemia consistent with symptomatic heterozygous FHBL or a mild form of ABL. The proband had fatty liver associated with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and apo B levels <5th percentile but no truncated apo B forms detectable in plasma. MTP gene sequence revealed that he was a carrier of the I128T polymorphism and an unreported amino acid substitution (V168I) unlikely to be the cause of hypobetalipoproteinemia. Apo B gene sequence showed that he was heterozygous for two single base substitutions in exon 9 and 22 resulting in a nonsense (Q294X) and a missense (R1101H) mutation, respectively. Neither of his parents carried the Q294X; his father and paternal grandmother carried the R 110 1 H mutation. Analysis of polymorphic genetic markers excluded non-paternity. In conclusion, the proband has a de novo mutation of apo B gene resulting in a short truncated apo B form (apo B-6.46). Sporadic cases of FHBL with an apparently recessive transmission may be caused by de novo mutations of apo B gene.

Abstract

Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a co-dominant disorder either linked or not linked to apolipoprotein (apo) B gene. Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a recessive disorder due to mutations of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) gene. We investigated a patient with apparently recessive hypobetalipoproteinemia consistent with symptomatic heterozygous FHBL or a mild form of ABL. The proband had fatty liver associated with LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) and apo B levels <5th percentile but no truncated apo B forms detectable in plasma. MTP gene sequence revealed that he was a carrier of the I128T polymorphism and an unreported amino acid substitution (V168I) unlikely to be the cause of hypobetalipoproteinemia. Apo B gene sequence showed that he was heterozygous for two single base substitutions in exon 9 and 22 resulting in a nonsense (Q294X) and a missense (R1101H) mutation, respectively. Neither of his parents carried the Q294X; his father and paternal grandmother carried the R 110 1 H mutation. Analysis of polymorphic genetic markers excluded non-paternity. In conclusion, the proband has a de novo mutation of apo B gene resulting in a short truncated apo B form (apo B-6.46). Sporadic cases of FHBL with an apparently recessive transmission may be caused by de novo mutations of apo B gene.
