ABSTRACT
Homozygous apolipoprotein B deficiency can present with fatty liver and raised levels of transaminases. Subjects with heterozygous deficiency are almost always asymptomatic. We report an asymptomatic 26-year-old man with persistently raised transaminases, in whom the diagnosis of heterozygous (familial) apolipoprotein B deficiency was made on the basis of characteristic lipid profile.
