A-beta-lipoproteinemia: clinical and laboratory features, therapeutic manipulations, and follow-up study of three members of a Greek family.

We describe the clinicoepidemiologic features, natural history, and therapeutic manipulations in three Greek patients with A-beta-lipoproteinemia (two brothers aged 15 and 29 years, respectively, and one sister aged 30 years). Diarrhea started in infancy in the two brothers and from the age of 13 in the sister. During the second decade of life, central nervous system symptoms became prominent, with fatigue and disturbance in gait and balance.
