Abstract excerpt
We have systematically investigated the molecular defects resulting in a primary lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency in a Japanese male infant (proband SH) with fasting hyperchylomicronemia. Neither LPL activity nor immunoreactive LPL mass was detected in pre- or postheparin plasma from proband SH. DNA sequence analysis of the LPL gene of proband SH revealed homozygosity for a novel missense mutation of F270L...
