Correct Ans. E
Patient has clinical findings of ABETALIPOPROTEINEMIA, resulting from mutation in the gene that encodes MICROSOMAL TRANSFER PROTEIN.(MTP)
MTP is essential for the packaging of hepatic triglycerides with other major components of VLDLs. This autosomal recessive (AR) disease results in extremely low cholesterol and TG levels and an absence chylomicrons, VLDL, LDLs.
The clinical manifestations stem from defects in the absorption and transprt of fat soluble vitamins. Lack of vitamin E results in hyporeflexia, distal muscle weakness, ataxia, decreased vibratory sensation and propioception, and night blindness. Other clinical features include diarrhea, fat malabsorption, failure to thrive, pigmented retinopathy, and acanthocytosis. Symptoms and signs develop in childhood.
Treatment consists of low fat, high calorie diets that are enriched with large supplemental doses of fat soluble vitamins.
