Hereditary lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency and bloom syndrome in the same individual

Abstract
A couple who were first cousins had three children: an older son with Bloom syndrome (BLS) and homozygous lecithin‐cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency; the second child (a son) and the parents are LCAT deficiency heterozygotes; and the youngest child (a daughter), is homozygous for LCAT deficiency. The use of genetic markers gave no evidence of linkage of BLS and LCAT loci.
