Familial apolipoprotein A-I and C-III deficiency, variant II.
The biochemical, clinical, and genetic features were examined in the proband (homozygote) and heterozygotes (n = 17) affected with familial apolipoprotein A-I and C-III deficiency, variant II (previously described as apolipoprotein A-I absence). The proband was a 45-year-old white female with mild corneal opacification and significant three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), who died shortly...
متن کاملApolipoprotein C-II deficiency: detection of immunoreactive apolipoprotein C-II in the intestinal mucosa of two patients.
Recent data suggest that mutant immunoreactive forms of apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) can be detected in the plasma of patients with the apoC-II deficiency syndrome. We studied the possible presence of apoC-II mutants in the plasma of two patients with apoC-II deficiency by immunological means. The patients were hypertriglyceridemic, and apoC-II was undetectable in plasma as determined by radia...
متن کاملA nonsense mutation in the apolipoprotein C-IIPadova gene in a patient with apolipoprotein C-II deficiency.
The apo C-II gene from a patient with apo C-II deficiency has been sequenced after amplification by the polymerase chain reaction. A substitution of an adenosine for a guanosine at position 3002 in exon 3 of the patient's gene was identified by sequence analysis. This mutation leads to the introduction of a premature termination codon (TAA) at a position corresponding to amino acid 37 of mature...
متن کاملStudies of a variant very-low-density lipoprotein with an acquired deficiency of apolipoprotein C-II.
1. A variant very-low-density lipoprotein was associated with severe hypertriglyceridaemia. Urea-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the tetramethylurea-soluble apolipoproteins of these very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) showed that the apolipoprotein C-II content was less than 10% of that in VLDL from hypertriglyceridaemic (3-120 mmol/l) controls. 2. VLDL were incubated with bovine milk li...
متن کاملAcquired apolipoprotein B deficiency with chronic hepatitis C virus infection.
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is often associated with fatty liver. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) deficiency is one of the known causes of fatty liver and acquired ApoB deficiency has recently been reported with HCV infection. We report two patients (47-year-old lady and 48-year-old man) who had asymptomatic transaminase elevation, fatty liver, anti-HCV positive with high viral load (geno...
