Severe xanthomatosis associated with familial apolipoprotein E deficiency.
AIM To present the clinical, dermatological, and histological features of a patient with generalised xanthomatosis, familial apolipoprotein (apo) E deficiency, and unusual type III hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP). METHODS The underlying molecular defect was disclosed using molecular biological techniques. The unusual xanthomas were histologically analysed and the morphology of the abnormal lipopr...
متن کاملmRNA and apolipoprotein E synthesis abnormalities in peripheral blood monocyte macrophages in familial apolipoprotein E deficiency.
We have studied synthesis of apolipoprotein E (apo-E) and apo-E mRNA in cultures of peripheral blood human monocyte macrophages (M-M cultures) obtained from a patient with familial apolipoprotein E deficiency. We have found that the M-M cultures of the apo-E-deficient patients contained two apo-E mRNA species with slightly different molecular weight as compared to normal apo-E mRNA. The apo-E m...
متن کاملApolipoprotein CIISt. Michael. Familial apolipoprotein CII deficiency associated with premature vascular disease.
A 60-yr-old woman and her brother, products of a consanquinous mating, were chylomicronemic. The chylomicronemia in both subjects was found to be due to the absence of functional apoCII. A mutant form, designated apoCIISt. Michael (apoCIIs), was identified by two-dimensional electrophoresis and Western blot using anti-apoCII antiserum. The isoelectric point of apoCIIs was similar to that of nor...
متن کاملApolipoprotein E and familial longevity.
Exceptional longevity is associated with substantial heritability. The ε4 allele in apolipoprotein E and the linked G allele in rs2075650 of TOMM40 have been associated with increased mortality and the ε2 allele with decreased mortality, although inconsistently. Offspring from long-lived families and spouse controls were recruited at 3 sites in the United States and Denmark. We used generalized...
متن کاملAtypical xanthomatosis in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice after cholesterol feeding.
Apolipoprotein (apo) E-deficient mice were fed a hypercholesterolemic diet for 14 weeks. Mean serum cholesterol levels rose to 37.5 mM. Upon complete necroscopy, massive xanthomatous lesions were noticed in various tissues, with a predilection for subcutaneous and peritendinous tissues, while control animals on the same diet (3.4 mM serum cholesterol) and apo E-deficient mice on a regular chow ...
