Mobile elements (ME) can transpose by copy-and-paste mechanisms. A heterozygous insertion in APOB exon 3 coding sequence was suspected in a patient with hypobetalipoproteinemia (HBL), by gel electrophoresis of the PCR products. An insertion of a 85 bp fragment flanked by a polyA stretch and a target replication site duplication was identified as a ME insertion (MEI) from the AluYa5 subfamily, NM_000384.

Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) 1 is a rare genetic disorder with an autosomal codominant mode of inheritance and is caused by defects in the apolipoprotein (apo) B (APOB) gene that disable lipoprotein formation. ApoB proteins are required for the formation of very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), chylomicrons, and their metabolites. VLDLs transport cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver to the peripheral tissues, whereas chylomicrons transport absorbed lipids and fat-soluble vitamins from the intestine.
