CTX is caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme sterol 27-hydroxylase, which is encoded by the CYP27A1 gene. We herein report a 50-year-old Japanese woman with late-onset CTX who had no relevant symptoms before the development of bilateral Achilles tendon xanthomas in middle age. A genetic analysis revealed a compound heterozygous mutation in the CYP27A1 gene with a previously known missense mutation (NM_000784.3:c.1421 G>A) and a novel frame shift mutation of NM_000784.3:c.1342_1343insCACC., Internal Medicine, 57(11), pp.1611-1616; 2018}, pages = {1611--1616}, title = {Late-onset Cerebrotendinous Xanthomatosis with a Novel Mutation in the CYP27A1 Gene}, volume = {57}, year = {2018} }
