Function
Related Diseases
Hypobetalipoproteinemia, familial, 1
A disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by less than 5th percentile age- and sex-specific levels of low density lipoproteins, and dietary fat malabsorption. Clinical presentation may vary from no symptoms to severe gastrointestinal and neurological dysfunction similar to abetalipoproteinemia.
Hypercholesterolemia, familial, 2
A form of hypercholesterolemia, a disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by elevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, which result in excess deposition of cholesterol in tissues and leads to xanthelasma, xanthomas, accelerated atherosclerosis and increased risk of premature coronary heart disease. FHCL2 inheritance is autosomal dominant.
