Novel compound heterozygous mutations for lipoprotein lipase deficiency. A G-to-T transversion at the first position of exon 5 causing G154V missense mutation and a 5' splice site mutation of intron 8.

Abstract excerpt

We systematically investigated the molecular defects causing a primary LPL deficiency in a Japanese male infant (patient DI) with fasting hyperchylomicronemia (type I hyperlipoproteinemia) and in his parents. Patient DI had neither LPL activity nor immunoreactive LPL mass in the pre- and post-heparin plasma. The patient was a compound heterozygote for novel mutations consisting of a G-to-T transversion at the...
