Familial apolipoprotein E deficiency.
Open accessAbstract
A unique kindred with premature cardiovascular disease, tubo-eruptive xanthomas, and type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) associated with familial apolipoprotein (apo) E deficiency was examined. Homozygotes (n = 4) had marked increases in cholesterol-rich very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL), which could be effectively lowered with diet and medication (niacin, clofibrate). Homozygotes had only trace amounts of plasma apoE, and accumulations of apoB-48 and apoA-IV in VLDL, IDL, and low density lipoproteins. Radioiodinated VLDL apoB and apoE kinetic studies revealed that the homozygous proband had markedly retarded fractional catabolism of VLDL apoB-100, apoB-48 and plasma apoE, as well as an extremely low apoE synthesis rate as compared to normals. Obligate heterozygotes (n = 10) generally had normal plasma lipids and mean plasma apoE concentrations that were 42% of normal. The data indicate that homozygous familial apoE deficiency is a cause of type III HLP, is associated with markedly decreased apoE production, and that apoE is essential for the normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein constituents.

TL;DR
This paper characterizes the first reported kindred with familial apolipoprotein E deficiency, showing that homozygotes develop type III hyperlipoproteinemia with xanthomas and premature cardiovascular disease. It concludes that apoE deficiency is an autosomal recessive condition with markedly decreased apoE production and that apoE is essential for normal catabolism of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein remnants.
Key findings
- Four homozygotes had severe type III hyperlipoproteinemia: mean plasma cholesterol 529±74 mg/dl, triglyceride 221±62 mg/dl, VLDL cholesterol 243±97 mg/dl, LDL cholesterol 230±41 mg/dl, HDL cholesterol 51±16 mg/dl, and VLDL cholesterol/plasma triglyceride ratio 1.09±0.18, all significantly different from normal (P < 0.01).
- Homozygotes had only trace plasma apoE (mean 0.016±0.003 mg/dl, 0.3% of normal), while obligate heterozygotes (n = 10) had mean apoE concentrations 42.1% of normal (P < 0.01).
- In the proband, VLDL apoB-100 residence time was 7.8 times greater than normal and VLDL apoB-48 residence time was 44 times greater than normal; calculated apoE synthesis rate was only 0.15% of that observed in normal females.
- Lipid-lowering therapy was effective: clofibrate produced mean reductions in VLDL cholesterol of 53% of baseline and increases in HDL cholesterol of 75% of baseline (P < 0.01).
Methods
- Clinical, genetic, biochemical, and metabolic characterization of a single kindred with familial apoE deficiency, including four homozygotes, ten obligate heterozygotes, and normal controls.
- Lipoprotein analysis used ultracentrifugation, paper and agarose electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation, electron microscopy, gradient gel electrophoresis, and apolipoprotein quantitation by radial immunodiffusion, radioimmunoassay, enzyme-linked immunoassay, and electroimmunoassay.
- Metabolic studies in the proband and normal subjects used radioiodinated apoE3 and VLDL tracers, with kinetic analysis by SAAM to calculate residence times and synthesis rates.
Limitations
- Stated: whether apoE deficiency alone is sufficient to cause type III hyperlipoproteinemia or whether an additional genetic factor is present in this kindred is uncertain; kinetic data are valid only if the proband synthesizes structurally normal apoE; the apolipoprotein control group was Caucasian while study subjects were Black; consanguinity could not be documented but is possible.
- Evident from the text: findings come from a single small kindred (four homozygotes, ten obligate heterozygotes), limiting generalizability; the paper also notes that the precise defect at the gene level remained to be elucidated.

“Moreover, apoB-48 and/or apoA-IV may also play a role in the uptake of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, since apoE was catabolized at a significantly greater fractional catabolic rate on lipoproteins isolated from the proband than on normal li- poproteins when studied in normal subjects.”

The authors state this as an assumption.
The metabolic studies were conducted under steady state conditions, so that the synthesis rate could be calculated from plasma concentration, plasma volume, residence time, and body weight.
“Under steady state conditions: synthesis rate (mg/kg d) = [(plasma concentration, mg/dl) (plasma volume, dl)] + [(residence time, days) (body wt, kg)].”
The authors state this as an assumption.
The proband synthesizes apoE that is structurally normal.
“The kinetic data therefore are valid only if the proband syn- thesizes apoE that is structurally normal.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-31, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-31 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
