  • Title: A-beta-lipoproteinaemia. Ocular involvement in a Danish case.
    Author: Ehlers N, Hansen HJ.
    Journal: Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh); 1981 Oct; 59(5):747-55. PubMed ID: 7315226.
    Abstract:
    A-beta-lipoproteinaemia in a Danish woman is reported. The ocular involvement comprised pigmentary retinopathy, anisocoria and reduced corneal sensibility. Serum concentrations of vitamin A and retinol-binding protein (RBP) were low, but were normalized after vitamin treatment. Serum concentration of carotene was low, and not altered by treatment. The retinopathy progressed over a 2 1/2 year period in spite of controlled serum vitamin A and RBP concentrations. The possible role of vitamin A in the development of retinopathy is discussed.
