Therefore, this code may be out of date. The 2009 version of ICD-9-CM 272.5 can be accessed here. A disease in which the low density lipoprotein (beta-lipoprotein) concentrations are far below normal. A disorder of lipid metabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait characterized by the near absence of APOLIPOPROTEINS B and apoB-containing lipoproteins in plasma. Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein is deficient or absent in enterocytes. Clinical and laboratory findings include acanthocytosis, hypocholesterolemia, peripheral neuropathy, posterior column degeneration, ataxia, and steatorrhea. Intellectual abilities may also be impaired.
