OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the biosynthesis of cholesterol and cholestanol, and measure the turnover of individual sterols and bile acids in patients with cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis before and after a cholesterol- and cholestanol-free diet.

II. Assess the biosynthesis of cholesterol and cholestanol, and measure the turnover of individual sterols and bile acids in these patients before and after lovastatin and chenodeoxycholic acid.

Estimated Enrollment: 5
Study Start Date: January 1996
Detailed Description:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Following a 2-week baseline assessment, patients participate in a feeding study for up to 3 weeks. The diet is free of cholesterol and cholestanol.

For the next 4 weeks, patients return to their typical diet and are medicated with daily lovastatin and chenodeoxycholic acid.

The feeding study is repeated for an additional 3 weeks, with the patient taking either lovastatin or chenodeoxycholic acid.
