Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the molecular defect in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene of a young boy from Sardinia who had primary hyperchylomicronemia, pancreatitis, and a complete LPL deficiency in post-heparin plasma. Analysis of LPL gene was performed by using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and direct sequencing of SSCP-positive region. The proband was homozygous for a C > A transversion in exon 6, which...
