Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare lipid-storage disease. We investigated the clinic manifestation, histopathology and sterol 27-hydroxylase gene (CYP27A1) in a Chinese family with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis (CTX).
A 36-year-old female with typical CTX clinical manifestation had Spindle-shaped lipid crystal clefts in xanthomas and "onion-like demyelination" in sural nerve. The patient was compound heterozygote carrying two deletions in exon 1 (c.73delG) and exon 2 (c.369_375delGTACCCA). The family memebers were carriers.
A Chinese family with Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis had typical clinical manifestation. CYP27A1 mutations were found in the proband and all other family members.
脑腱黄瘤病（CTX）是一种罕见的脂质贮积病。我们研究了一个中国脑腱黄瘤病（CTX）家系的临床表现、组织病理学和固醇 27-羟化酶基因（CYP27A1）。
一位 36 岁的女性具有典型的 CTX 临床表现，黄色瘤中有梭形脂晶裂隙，腓肠神经有“洋葱样脱髓鞘”。患者是复合杂合子，携带外显子 1（c.73delG）和外显子 2（c.369_375delGTACCCA）的两处缺失。家系成员为携带者。
一个中国脑腱黄瘤病家系具有典型的临床表现。在先证者和所有其他家族成员中均发现 CYP27A1 突变。
