Phenotypic heterogeneity of sitosterolemia

Abstract: Sitosterolemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipoprotein metabolism characterized by xanthomas and increased plasma concentrations of plant sterols, such as sitosterol. Causative mutations occur in either the ABCG5 or ABCG8 gene, each of which encodes a sterol half-transporter expressed in the intestine. We report five Canadian subjects with nonsense mutations in these half-transporters: four related Caucasian subjects were homozygous for the ABCG8 S107X mutation, and one unrelated Japanese-Canadia… Show more

“…The accumulation of sterols in the blood is a consequence of both intestinal hyperabsorption and reduced biliary excretion (239). Hitherto, six mutations in ABCG5 and nine mutations in ABCG8 genes have been identified in patents with sitosterolemia (29,204,220,398). Graf et al (110) have demonstrated that most disease-causing missense mutations prevent the formation of stable ABCG5/ABCG8 heterodimers and result in impaired trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface.…”

“…Clinically, sitosterolemia (also known as phytosterolemia) manifests either in children as tendon and tuberous xanthomas (67)(68)(69)(70)(71) or in young adults with severe CHD attributable to massive accumulation of sterols and stanols in monocyte-derived macrophages ( 25,68,(72)(73)(74)(75). Other clinical manifestations include arthralgia and intermittent arthritis ascribed to sitosterol deposits ( 45,70 ); liver disease ( 45 ); and hematological abnormalities ( 45,69,76,77 ), including abnormally shaped, fragile erythrocytes and large platelets.…”

“…Outros formas raras de ARH incluem sitosterolemia ou fitosterolemia, em razão de mutações em dois genes adjacentes e com orientações opostas (ABCG5 e ABCG8) que codificam proteínas transportadoras da família ABC (ATP binding cassete) denominadas esterolina-1 e esterolina-2 57 ; deficiência de colesterol 7-alfa hidroxilase (CYP7A1), que é a enzima da primeira etapa na síntese de ácidos biliares, resultando em colesterol intra-hepático aumentado e expressão reduzida de receptores de LDL na superfície do hepatócito. A deficiência de CYP7A1 é a menos comum das condições autossômicas recessivas que podem causar graves hipercolesterolemias 56 .…”
