ABSTRACT

Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHB) is a rare genetically heterogeneous disorder provoking abnormally low serum levels of apoprotein (apo) B, total cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C). Patients carrying heterozygous mutations in the APOB (2p24) gene are usually asymptomatic, but homozygous mutations cause clinical disturbances as a result of intestinal fat malabsorption and fat-soluble vitamin deficiency. We present an asymptomatic boy, aged 8 years and 7 months, with low serum levels of apo-B, total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL-C and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL-C), as well as vitamin E deficiency. Three asymptomatic relatives also exhibited low apo-B, total cholesterol and LDL-C levels. The APOB (2p24) gene was fully sequenced, demonstrating a heterozygous mutation in exon 26 (G --> T) in all four members of this family. Familial genetic studies in FHB could be useful in the early detection and treatment of homozygous carriers.

ABSTRACT

La hipobetalipoproteinemia familiar (HBF) es un trastorno infrecuente, con un patrón de herencia heterogéneo, que da origen a valores anormalmente disminuidos de apoproteína (apo) B, colesterol total o lipoproteínas de baja densidad (c-LDL). Los pacientes portadores de mutaciones en el gen APOB (2p24) en heterozigosis suelen ser asintomáticos, pero aquellos que las portan en homozigosis pueden presentar diferentes alteraciones clínicas, debidas a la malabsorción de grasas y deficiencia de vitaminas liposolubles. Se presenta un varón asintomático de 8 años y 7 meses de edad con disminución de los niveles de colesterol total, triglicéridos, c-LDL, lipoproteínas de muy baja densidad (c-VLDL) y apo-B, así como deficiencia de vitamina E. Un total de 3 familiares también asintomáticos presentaron niveles disminuidos de colesterol total, c-LDL y apo-B. La secuenciación del gen APOB demostró, tanto en el paciente como en los 3 familiares afectados, una mutación en heterozigosis en el exón número 26 (G → T). El estudio genético familiar en la HBF puede ser útil para la detección de los portadores homozigotos y la instauración de tratamiento precoz

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar la eficacia de la restricción dietética en un grupo de niños y adolescentes con hipercolesterolemia. Diseño. Estudio prospectivo de intervención. Participantes. 265 niños y adolescentes de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre los 2 y los 13 años diagnosticados de hipercolesterolemia. Todos ellos fueron tratados con restricción dietética mediante las dietas fase 1 o fase 2 de la Asociación Americana de Cardiología. El período de seguimiento osciló entre 5 y 15 años. Resultados. Los niveles de colesterol total, colesterol LDL, apolipoproteína B-100, apolipoproteína A y triglicéridos, descendieron significativamente (P<0,0001). El cociente colesterol LDL/colesterol HDL descendió significativamente. Conclusiones. El tratamiento dietético es efectivo en el tratamiento de la hipercolesterolemia en niños y adolescentes. La restricción dietética tiene un efecto beneficioso, no sólo en los niveles de colesterol total y LDL colesterol, sino también en los niveles de apolipoproteínas A-I y B-100 (AU)


Objective. To determine the effectiveness of dietary restriction in a group of children and adolescents with hypercholesterolemia. Research design. Intervention prospective study. Participants. Two hundred sixty-five children and adolescents of both sexes age 2 to 13 years diagnosed as having hypercholesterolemia. All to them were treated with dietary restriction (American Heart Association Step-One and Step Two Diets). The follow-up period ranged from 5 to 15 years. Results. Total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides and apolipoproteins A and B levels decreased significantly (p<0.0001). Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio decreased significantly (p<0.0001). Conclusions. Diet therapy is effective in the treatment of hypercholesterolemia in children and adolescents. Dietary restriction has a beneficial effect not only on total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels but also on apolipoprotein A-I and B -100 levels (AU)
