Apolipoprotein B deficiency is a condition which causes reductions in the levels of low-density lipoprotein due to deficiencies in the production of Apolipoprotein B.
It is also known as "normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia".[cite journal |author=Homer VM, George PM, du Toit S, Davidson JS, Wilson CJ |title=Mental retardation and ataxia due to normotriglyceridemic hypobetalipoproteinemia |journal=Ann.
