Congenital analbuminemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations of the ALB gene. The disorder manifests in adult who present with hypercholesterinemia and low albumin levels in electrophoresis.
Management is symptomatic hypercholesterinemia and progressve arteriosklerosis have to be treated properly. Also as some drugs bind to albumin their dosage has to be carefully monitored.
