A rare lipoprotein metabolism disorder characterised clinically by corneal opacities and sometimes renal failure and haemolytic anaemia, and biochemically by severely reduced HDL cholesterol. Age of onset is variable but most patients are diagnosed during adulthood. Two familial forms of LCAT deficiency have been reported: familial LCAT deficiency characterised by corneal opacities, anaemia and renal insufficiency and Fish-eye disease characterised by corneal opacities and sometimes atherosclerosis. LCAT deficiency is caused by deficient or absent catalytic activity of the LCAT enzyme, which catalyses the formation of cholesterol esters in lipoproteins and is encoded by the LCAT gene (16q22.1). Accumulation of unesterified cholesterol in the body for example in the cornea, erythrocytes and kidneys, is thought to underlie the clinical manifestations.

A rare lipoprotein metabolism disorder with biochemical characteristics of an almost complete absence of plasma high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and clinical characteristics of liver, spleen, lymph node and tonsil enlargement along with peripheral neuropathy in children and adolescents and occasionally cardiovascular disease in adults. Approximately 100 cases have been described worldwide. The disease is due to mutations in the ABCA1 gene (9q31) encoding the ATP-binding cassette transporter (ABC1), a cholesterol efflux regulatory protein that is able to orient cellular cholesterol towards the cell surface and to facilitate its transfer towards the core of HDL. Mutations in this gene result in severe deficiency of plasma HDL cholesterol and deposition of cholesteryl and retinyl esters and carotenoids in nonadipose tissues. Transmission is autosomal recessive. A component that is no longer current, useful, appropriate or acceptable.
