PD
Case#: PD, 44 years, female
CasePresentingHPOsFreeText: apo-B plasma levels <5% of normal; total cholesterol 2.57 (normal range 4-6.5 mmol/l), triglyceride 0.59 (normal range 0.3-1.8 mmol/l), apoB 17 (normal range 60-140 mg/dl).
CasePreviousTesting: On Western blot a truncated species of apo-B was found in the VLDL/chylomicron fraction (fig. 3), predicted based on size to be at the 5’ end of exon 26. The protein was absent from the HDL or infranate fractions.
CaseGenotypingMethod: Genomic DNA was digested with a panel of restriction enzymes and Southern blotted. Based on truncated apoB size (detected on Western blot), the variant was predicted to be at the end of exon 26. Approximately 1.7 kb of genomic DNA including exon 26 was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloned into M13, and sequenced.
Variant: NM_000384.3(APOB):c.5463del (p.His1822fs), heterozygous
