Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is an autosomal dominant disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by extremely low plasma levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB), and total-, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Various truncated forms of apoB have been found to cosegregate with the FH

Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a rare codominant disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by low levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and apolipoprotein (apo) B. Heterozygotes for FHBL have less-than-half normal LDL-cholesterol and apoB concentrations, whereas homo
Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a genetic disorder characterized by low levels of apoB-100 and LDL cholesterol. Truncation-producing mutations of apoB (chromosome 2) are among several potential causes of FHBL in patients. Ten new families with FHBL linked to chromosome 2 were identified.
