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).

Prevention Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome Alternative Names: Abetalipoproteinemia; Acanthocytosis; Apolipoprotein B deficiency Treatment: Consult a nutritionist or other medical professional for dietary instruction. Large doses of vitamin supplements containing the fat-soluble vitamins ( vitamin A vitamin D vitamin E and vitamin K ) are given. To avoid intestinal symptoms, avoid eating long-chain triglycerides . Thus, the diet should contain no more than 5 ounces of lean meat, fish, or poultry per day. Use skim milk instead of whole milk. Since a certain amount of fat is needed for normal growth and development in all people, medium chain triglycerides are alternatively used as the major source of fat in the diet. These are absorbed from the gut differently than other fats, and thus avoid the intestinal symptoms. Medium chain triglycerides are taken as a dietary supplement, typically under the supervision of a physician or nutritionist. Expectations (prognosis): The outcome is related to the degree and progression of neurological and visual problems . Severe forms of the disease lead to irreversible neurologic disease before age 30. Complications: Blindness Mental deterioration

Back Email Us Search Centers of Excellence ... Disease Management 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). People with this disease are unable to properly digest fat, and have underdeveloped nerves (neuropathy), poor muscle coordination ( ataxia ), and other nerve disorders.

(advertisement) Excerpt from Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: classic adult neuroacanthocytosis disorder, neuroacanthocytosis variant, NA, Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome Please click here to view the full topic text: Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes Background: The classic neuroacanthocytosis (NA) syndrome includes combined features of acanthocytosis (ie, spiked red blood cells), chorea, orofacial tics, amyotrophy, and normobetalipoproteinemia. It begins in adult life and typically is inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. This was recently noted to be due to a single gene locus defect on chromosome 9. The neurological course is progressive. Degeneration of the basal ganglia is a feature of this disorder. This typical syndrome is distinguished from the Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder of childhood in which abetalipoproteinemia and acanthocytosis occur along with steatorrhea, retinitis pigmentosa, and cerebellar ataxia. The array of NA syndromes is extremely complex. Not only are cases known in which neurological features of classic adult and childhood acanthocytosis syndromes overlap, but adult forms have been well described in which lipid profiles more closely resemble those of Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome, as have adult forms that begin in childhood. An adult NA syndrome due to an X-linked gene defect is known that largely excludes females.

Acanthocytes are dense contracted red blood cells with multiple thorny projections or spicules. The thornlike surface protrusions vary in width, length, and surface distribution. Acanthocytic morphology is attributed to changes in the composition of the red blood cell membrane lipids and their altered distribution between the 2 hemi leaflets of the lipid bilayer. Acanthocytes must be distinguished from echinocytes (from the Greek word echinos
