General Discussion
Recap
Abetalipoproteinemia is an uncommon acquired problem of/affecting fat metabolic rate. Irregularities in fat metabolic rate cause malabsorption of nutritional fat and different vital vitamins. Influenced individuals experience dynamic neurological wear and tear, muscle tissue weak point, trouble walking, as well as blood irregularities including a problem where the red blood cells are malformed (acanthocytosis) resulting in reduced levels of distributing red blood cells (anemia). Influenced people could additionally develop weakening of the retina of the eyes potentially resulting in loss of vision, a problem called retinitis pigmentosa. Abetalipoproteinemia is acquired as an autosomal recessive attribute and is dued to mutations in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) gene.
