What is Abetalipoproteinemia?
Abetalipoproteinemia, or Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that interferes with the normal absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins from food. It is caused by a mutation in microsomal triglyceride transfer protein resulting in deficiencies in the apo lipoproteins ,which are used in the synthesis and exportation of chylomicrons and VLDL.
