Hypoalphalipoproteinemia, primary, 2

MedGen UID:
1789263
•Concept ID:
C5551172
•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: HIGH DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN DEFICIENCY; HYPOALPHALIPOPROTEINEMIA, PRIMARY, 2, AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE
 
Gene (location): APOA1 (11q23.3)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0032766
OMIM®: 618463

Definition

Primary hypoalphalipoproteinemia-2 is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by dysfunctional apoA-I production, resulting in undetectable levels of apoA-I in serum and in markedly low levels of serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). The disorder is associated with extensive atherosclerosis, xanthomas, and corneal opacities (summary by Tanaka et al., 2018). For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of primary hypoalphalipoproteinemia, see 604091. [from OMIM]

Tendon xanthomatosis
MedGen UID:
450999

Arcus senilis
MedGen UID:
8179
•Concept ID:
C0003742
•
Finding
A hazy, grayish-white ring about 2 mm in width located close to but separated from the limbus (the corneoscleral junction). Corneal arcus generally occurs bilaterally, and is related to lipid deposition in the cornea. Corneal arcus can occur in elderly persons as a part of the aging process but may be associated with hypercholesterolemia in people under the age of 50 years.

MedGen UID:
39462
•Concept ID:
C0086543
•
Disease or Syndrome
A cataract is an opacity or clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its capsule.
