5173420011 | A form of genetic LCAT (lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase) deficiency characterised clinically by corneal opacifications, and biochemically by significantly reduced HDL cholesterol and partial LCAT enzyme deficiency. The disease is very rare. Corneal opacities are progressive and are observed from an early age (adolescence or young adulthood) and sometimes result in visual impairment. These lesions are generally more severe than in complete LCAT deficiency and form a mosaic pattern of small dot-like grey-white opacities. Signs of atherosclerosis have only been reported in rare cases although patients have low HDL cholesterol levels. In patients with this disorder, alpha-LCAT activity is abolished, but beta-LCAT activity is preserved. Impaired enzyme function is thought to result in deposition of lipids in the cornea. The disease follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. | en | Definition | Active | Entire term case sensitive (core metadata concept) | SNOMED CT core |
