Eight patients with abetalipoproteinemia had the typical ocular, systemic and laboratory findings of this disease. Combined therapy with vitamins A and E was administered, starting as early as the 1st day of life and as late as 26 yr of age. The patients were followed up for 2-6 yr. Electroretinography was undertaken in all cases and electrooculography in some. After initiation of vitamin A and E therapy no progression of disturbed visual function could be detected in any patient. These objective tests of retinal function demonstrated that the combined vitamin A and E therapy may be useful in arresting retinal deterioration in abetalipoproteinemia.
