Clinical Trial: Genetic Study Of Sitosterolemia Genetic Study of sitosterolemia. This study is completed. Purpose. OBJECTIVES I. Identify the genetic defect and fine map the gene that causes sitosterolemia. http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct/show/NCT00004481?order=1
Extractions: Sitosterolemia Research Study If you have homozygous sitosterolemia, you are invited to participate in a study that will evaluate a new investigation drug that inhibits cholesterol absorption. Ezetimibe (SCH-58235) reduces plant sterol concentrations in patients with sitosterolemia with short term treatment. Ezetimibe was well tolerated in these patients. The long term safety and benefit is being evaluated in this one year study. Eligible persons will undergo a comprehensive evaluation. All patients will remain under the care of their own physician who will receive results of the laboratory and diagnostic tests. In most cases, you will be invited back for yearly evaluations related to other studies. There is no cost to you for travel, medical testing or the ezetimibe.
Extractions: Tularik, Inc. (Two Corporate Dr., South San Francisco, CA 94080; Tel: 650/825-7000, Fax: 650/825-7303; Website: www.tularik.com) researchers, working in collaboration with scientists from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, have discovered two genes responsible for a rare human genetic disorder called sitosterolemia. Patients with sitosterolemia have excessive absorption and inadequate excretion into the bile, which results in dangerously high cholesterol levels. The discovery of the sitosterolemia genes was reported in the December 1 issue of Science. The newly discovered genes encode two previously unknown protein molecules that are members of the class of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter proteins. The proteins, ABCG5 and ABCG8, bind cholesterol in the liver and small intestine. In the intestines, the proteins block absorption of dietary cholesterol. In the liver, the proteins help excrete cholesterol into bile.

Extractions: Sitosterolemia is an autosomal recessive lipid disorder in which plasma plant sterol levels are extremely elevated and cholesterol levels are often elevated but may be normal. Clinically sitosterolemia is characterized by xanthomas, premature vascular disease, and arthritis. Adolescent boys and girls with sitosterolemia are susceptible to fatal cardiac events. Dermatologists may have a vital role in the diagnosis of this rare but serious condition because early detection and treatment are important in preventing the associated atherosclerotic heart disease. We present a 7-year-old girl with sitosterolemia and tuberous xanthomas.
