Abstract excerpt
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common lipid disorder characterized by elevated levels of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides that is present in 10% to 20% of patients with premature coronary artery disease. To study the pathophysiological basis and genetics of FCHL, we previously reported recruitment of 18 large families. We now report linkage studies of 14 candidate genes selected for their...
