Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis

Neurologic Clinics, 1989
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare familial lipid storage that is caused by a defect in bile acid synthesis. As a result, large amounts of cholestanol, the 5 alpha-dihydro derivative of cholesterol, accumulate in virtually every tissue, with extra large deposits in the nervous system, xanthomas, and bile.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis revisited

Practical Neurology, 2021
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is a rare autosomal recessive lipid storage syndrome defined clinically by the triad of progressive neurodegeneration, juvenile cataracts and tendon xanthomas in adults. It is treatable, and a prompt diagnosis can improve outcomes. We describe a patient with this condition who presented with progressive ataxia.

Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1994
Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis is an autosomal recessive lipid-storage disease caused by mutations in the sterol 27-hydroxylase (CYP27) gene. Recent cloning and characterization of CYP27 enables further analysis and understanding of the pathophysiology of this multisystem disease.
