Abstract
Monogenic intestinal epithelial disorders, also known as congenital diarrheas and enteropathies (CoDEs), are a group of rare diseases that result from mutations in genes that primarily affect intestinal epithelial cell function. Patients with CoDE disorders generally present with infantile-onset diarrhea and poor growth, and often require intensive fluid and nutritional management. CoDE disorders can be classified into several categories that relate to broad areas of epithelial function, structure, and development. The advent of accessible and low-cost genetic sequencing has accelerated discovery in the field with over 45 different genes now associated with CoDE disorders. Despite this increasing knowledge in the causal genetics of disease, the underlying cellular pathophysiology remains incompletely understood for many disorders. Consequently, clinical management options for CoDE disorders are currently limited and there is an urgent need for new and disorder-specific therapies. In this review, we provide a general overview of CoDE disorders, including a historical perspective of the field and relationship to other monogenic disorders of the intestine. We describe the genetics, clinical presentation, and known pathophysiology for specific disorders. Lastly, we describe the major challenges relating to CoDE disorders, briefly outline key areas that need further study, and provide a perspective on the future genetic and therapeutic landscape.

Abstract
Background Chylomicron retention disease (Anderson disease) is a result for variant of the SAR1B gene. It is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder with most incidence in infant. It is characterized by lipid malabsorption syndrome with fatty, chronic diarrhea, and growth retardation. Case presentation We report a case of a 19-month Syrian boy who presented with vomiting, growth failure, and chronic, fatty diarrhea. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed whitish appearing duodenal mucosa and small intestinal biopsies revealed steatosis of enterocytes. Genetic testing confirmed chylomicron retention disease with the first description of variant located in the fourth helix of sar1b protein. The patient is treated with nutritional supplements and fat-soluble vitamin supplementation resulting in significant improvement. Conclusion Early endoscopy is recommended in infants with persistent vomiting and failure to thrive due to high suspicion for a disorder of hypocholesterolemia. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid serious clinical complications, especially neurological impairment.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Familial intestinal hypocholesterolemias, such as abetalipoproteinemia, hypobetalipoproteinemia, and chylomicron retention disease, are rare genetic diseases that result in a defect in the synthesis or secretion of lipoproteins containing apolipoprotein B.In children, these conditions present with diarrhoea and growth failure, whereas adults present with neuromuscular, ophthalmological, and hepatic symptoms. Simple laboratory investigations have shown that diagnosis can be made from findings of dramatically decreased cholesterol levels, deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins (mostly vitamin E), endoscopic findings of the characteristic white intestinal mucosa, and fat-loaded enterocytes in biopsy samples. Genetic analysis is used to confirm the diagnosis. Treatment is based on a low-fat diet with essential fatty acid supplementation, high doses of fat-soluble vitamins, and regular and life-long follow-up.The present study examines cases and literature findings of these conditions, and emphasises the need to explore severe hypocholesterolemia and deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins to not miss these rare, but easy to diagnose and treat, disorders.

Abstract
Lipids entering the gastrointestinal tract include dietary lipids (triacylglycerols, cholesteryl esters and phospholipids) and endogenous lipids from bile (phospholipids and cholesterol) and from shed intestinal epithelial cells (enterocytes). Here, we comprehensively review the digestion, uptake and intracellular re-synthesis of intestinal lipids as well as their packaging into pre-chylomicrons in the endoplasmic reticulum, their modification in the Golgi apparatus and the exocytosis of the chylomicrons into the lamina propria and subsequently to lymph. We also discuss other fates of intestinal lipids, including intestinal HDL and VLDL secretion, cytosolic lipid droplets and fatty acid oxidation. In addition, we highlight the applicability of these findings to human disease and the development of therapeutics targeting lipid metabolism. Finally, we explore the emerging role of the gut microbiota in modulating intestinal lipid metabolism and outline key questions for future research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Primary hypobetalipoproteinemia is generally considered a heterogenic group of monogenic, inherited lipoprotein disorders characterized by low concentrations of LDL cholesterol and apolipoprotein B in plasma. Lipoprotein disorders include abetalipoproteinemia, familial hypobetalipoproteinemia, chylomicron retention disease, and familial combined hypolipidemia. Our aim was to review and analyze the results of the molecular analysis of hypolipidemic patients studied in our laboratory over the last 15 years. METHODS The study included 44 patients with clinical and biochemical data. Genomic studies were performed and genetic variants were characterized by bioinformatics analysis. A weighted LDL cholesterol gene score was calculated to evaluate common variants associated with impaired lipid concentrations and their distribution among patients. RESULTS Twenty-three patients were genetically confirmed as affected by primary hypobetalipoproteinemia. In this group of patients, the most prevalent mutated genes were APOB (in 17 patients, with eight novel mutations identified), SAR1B (in 3 patients, with one novel mutation identified), ANGPTL3 (in 2 patients), and MTTP (in 1 patient). The other 21 patients could not be genetically diagnosed with hypobetalipoproteinemia despite presenting suggestive clinical and biochemical features. In these patients, two APOB genetic variants associated with lower LDL cholesterol were more frequent than in controls. Moreover, the LDL cholesterol gene score, calculated with 11 SNPs, was significantly lower in mutation-negative patients. CONCLUSIONS Around half of the patients could be genetically diagnosed. The results suggest that, in at least some of the patients without an identified mutation, primary hypobetalipoproteinemia may have a polygenic origin.
