Lipoprotein: electrophoresis. If abetalipoproteinemia is present, the electrophoresis should show it. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!

Abetalipo test: Yes, genetic testing for MTTP gene mutations. Your LDL is low. I would prefer to see it 50 or above. May need to repeat the lipid profile. http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/abetalipoproteinemia

Yes there is a test: This is an autosomal reserve inherited disease and it is very rear. There are about 100 cases diagnosed worldwide. Signs and symptoms appear in the first few months as failure to thrive.

YES: In younger people the cholesterol level is lower, it usually creeps up as they get older. There are genetic testings available for abetalipoproteinemia. But tests are done in appropriate clinical setting with symptoms and clinical signs suggestive of malabsorption of fat and vitamin deficienecy.
