Abstract excerpt
Approximately 46 human apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) coding sequence mutations have been reported to date. Roughly half of these mutations are associated with lower than average plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) apoA-I. Mutations associated with low HDL apoA-I concentrations fall into two main categories: those which poorly activate the enzyme lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and...
