Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a pivotal role in lipoprotein metabolism. Three recently described exonic polymorphisms of the gene, D9N, N291S and S447X, have been variably found to influence plasma lipids while effects on coronary heart disease (CHD) are less well documented. Two predominantly Caucasian groups were studied: CHD patients <50 years of age, with angiographically documented CHD; and a randomly...
