PAPERS Hypobetalipoproteinaemiaa variant of the Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome BB Scott, JP Miller and MS Losowsky A patient is reported with hypobetalipoproteinaemia and clinical features resembling the Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome (abetalipoproteinaemia) more completely than previously described. This supports a link between hypobetalipoproteinaemia and abetalipoproteinaemia and it is suggested that the Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome has a wide spectrum with serum betalipoprotein ranging from absent to normal. It is likely that there are

Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Synonyms Bassen-Kornzweig Syndrome Low-Density Beta Lipoprotein Deficiency Disorder Subdivisions None General Discussion Acanthocytosis is a digestive disorder that is characterized by the absence of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons in the plasma. Chylomicrons are very small fatty droplets that are covered with a beta-lipoprotein and perform an essential function in fat transport in the blood and, thus, in fat metabolism. The absense of VLDL and of chylomicrons interferes with the absorption of fat and leads to excessive fats excretion (steatorrhea). Other symptoms include abnormal red blood cells (acanthocytes), a vision disorder (retinitis pigmentosa), and impaired muscle coordination (ataxia).

Health Encyclopedia Health Encyclopedia Back to main Health Information page Disease - Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome Definition: Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome is a rare, inherited disease characterized by the inability to fully absorb dietary fats through the gut. It results in fatty stools, diarrhea, failure to thrive in infancy, and problems with nerves. Alternative Names: Abetalipoproteinemia; Acanthocytosis; Apolipoprotein B deficiency Causes And Risk: Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder that affects both sexes, but predominantly males (70%). It is due to mutations in one of two genes: apolipoprotein B (APOB) or microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP). The syndrome causes the body not to make lipoproteins (molecules of fat combined with protein ) including low-density lipoproteins ( LDL ), very-low-density lipoproteins ( VLDL ), and chylomicrons (small molecules of fat in the blood).

34. Retina Australia In Usher Syndrome Type 1, there is severe damage to the cochlea from a very bassenkornzweig syndrome. - RP with progressive neurological problems. http://www.retinaaustralia.com.au/AssocConditions.htm

USHER SYNDROME Symptoms and Cause This genetic condition causes hearing loss from birth and progressive loss of sight due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP), which causes degeneration of the retina. Often the first symptom of RP is night blindness, followed by narrowing side vision leading to what is called "tunnel vision". Two types of Usher syndrome In Usher Syndrome Type 1, there is severe damage to the cochlea from a very early age and therefore the child has severe deafness from birth. The child usually develops problems with night vision and tunnel vision due to RP in the first 10 years of life. People with this condition usually communicate by signing. This clearly can become more difficult as vision deteriorates. In Usher Syndrome Type 2, the hearing loss is more variable, ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms of RP usually develop from late adolescence to late twenties. Communication is enhanced in these people with hearing aids and lip reading. LARA'S STORY Lara has been diagnosed with Usher Syndrome Type 2. She is currently Co-ordinator of the Youth Group for Retina Australia Queensland Lara is currently studying meetings and events management, and is planning a career in media, focusing on motivational speaking.

printer friendly NEUROACANTHOCYTOSIS DISORDERS home how we can help medical information index of conditions ... how you can help Did you find this page helpful? yes no The term Neuroacanthocytosis refers to a group of rare inherited disorders displaying abnormalities of the nervous system, often chorea (involuntary movements), and acanthocytosis (the presence of abnormal red blood cells that on examination can be seen to have a spur-like projection). The disorders in the Neuroacanthocytosis group are: Chorea-acanthocytosis: Levine-Critchley syndrome (this is often just referred to as Neuroacanthocytosis); Abetalipoproteinemia: Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome; hypobetalipoproteinemia (presents without chorea); McLeod Neuroacanthocytosis syndrome: McLeod syndrome. Neuroacanthocytosis Choreoacanthocytosis : Chorea-acanthocytosis; Levine-Critchley syndrome; ChAc In 1967 Critchley et all described a rare inherited condition of neurological abnormalities in an adult and in 1970 Levine et all described a similar condition in a family of 19 persons over 4 generations, the majority of whom had Acanthocytosis - the typical abnormal red blood cell with spur like projections found in Neuroacanthocytosis. The condition affects both males and females, with a slight predominance in males, and all ethnic backgrounds. Reports of about 200-250 individuals have appeared in medical literature. Mutations in the VPS13A gene on chromosome 9q21 are thought to cause Chorea-acanthocytosis.

37. Inheritance Of Retinal Degeneration - Page 7 bassenkornzweig syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease. Best Disease (Vitelliform Dystrophy) This disease is characterized by a lesion in the macula, http://www.jwen.com/rp/wffb/ffb7.html

The Inheritance of Retinal Degenerations Page 7 Click for Table of Contents Isolated Cases When only one member of a family has a retinal degeneration, as we see in about 40 percent of families affected by RP, it is impossible to determine how the disease is inherited in that family. Nevertheless, to assess the risk of retinal degeneration occurring in other family members, it must be assumed that the disease is following one of the known inheritance patterns. Isolated cases of retinal degeneration most often represent autosomal recessive disease. Even though carrier parents have a 25 percent chance of having an affected child, there is still a 75 percent chance of having an unaffected child. So, it is often the case that there is only one child with a retinal degeneraUon in the family. Rarely, isolated cases of retinal degenerations represent new gene mutations. Retinal degenerations are caused by mutated genes that can pass through generations of a family. Occasionally, even when neither parent is affected nor carries an altered gene, one of the genes, usually in the egg or sperm, changes spontaneously from normal and becomes an altered gene, causing the disease in the child. New gene mutations most often represent the start of an autosomal dominant retinal degeneration, or when a ma is affected, either an autosomal dominant or X-linked retinal degeneration. Because a X-linked carrier female often shows mild effects of the altered gene, any mother of a male with an isolated case of retinal degeneration should be examined by an ophthalmologist to determine if she is a carrier.
