Abstract
A mentally retarded woman with tendon xanthomata and normal serum cholesterol concentration was found to have raised cholestanol concentrations in the serum and in a xanthoma. This confirmed the diagnosis of cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CBX). No specific lipoprotein fraction was found to transport cholestanol. For the first time cultured fibroblasts from a patient with CBX were found to accumulate cholestanol.Entities:
