To summarize the genotypes and clinical characteristics of homozygous family hypobetalipoproteinemia (Ho-FHBL) caused by apolipoprotein B (APOB) gene variations. The clinical, laboratory, genetic, and liver histology data of a boy with Ho-FHBL managed in the hepatology ward of the Children's Hospital of Fudan University in May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The literature was searched from China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, China VIP database, China Biology Medicine disc and PubMed database (up to May 2022) with "familial hypobetalipoproteinemia" or "hypobetalipoproteinemias" or "hypo beta lipoproteinemia" or "hypolipoproteinemias" as the search terms.

Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare recessive condition caused by biallelic loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein large subunit. ABL is characterized by absence of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins and deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins leading to multisystem involvement of which neurological complications are the most serious. We present 3 siblings with ABL who were born to non-consanguineous parents of Filipino and Chinese background.

We report a probable case of abetalipoproteinemia in an infant who presented with unusual symptoms of late-onset vitamin K deficiency. Abetalipoproteinemia is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by mutation of the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein gene, resulting in the absence of microsomal triglyceride transfer protein function in the small bowel. It is characterized by the absence of plasma apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, fat malabsorption, hypocholesterolemia, retinitis pigmentosa, progressive neuropathy, myopathy, and acanthocytosis.
