  • 摘要:We report a new genetic defect in the lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene associated with classical clinical and biochemical features of fish eye disease. The 63-year-old Australian female proband also suffers from non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetes mellitus. She presented with corneal opacities, markedly reduced HDL-cholesterol (0.1 mmol/L; Ile mutation and her daughter had the Tyr144 --> Cys mutation. Apart from a reduction in HDL-cholesterol levels to half the normal concentration and a 20% reduction in apoA-I levels, their plasma lipids were unremarkable. The proband's son and daughter were further investigated. Both had normal cholesterol esterification rates in plasma and VLDL/LDL-depleted plasma, but reduced LCAT activity (50% that of normal). Thus, the biochemical and phenotypic expression for fish eye disease in the heterozygote subjects was similar, irrespective of the underlying LCAT mutation.
