Research Notes on Abetalipoproteinemia Symptoms
The symptoms of abetalipoproteinemia (also called Bassen-Kornzweig syndrome) typically appear within the first few months of life. Failure to thrive, diarrhea, and fatty, foul-smelling stools are some of the most commonly noted signs. Poor muscle coordination, difficulty balancing, and eye disorders are other common symptoms of this rare genetic disorder.1
Fast Facts:
- Vitamins A, E, and K may be poorly absorbed and digested in individuals with abetalipoproteinemia.2
- Tremors, sensory problems in the hands and feet, and difficulty speaking are all common symptoms of abetalipoproteinemia.2
- Anemia, and other problems with the blood, are also relatively common in abetalipoproteinemia patients.2
