Abstract excerpt
Hypoalphalipoproteinemia (HALP) is a dyslipidemia characterized by low HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) levels with important genetic contribution. However, no common genetic mutations have been found to be associated with this disorder. We screened the promoter and coding sequence of apolipoprotein (apo) A-I and lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) genes and the 5' apo C-III region by SSCP and heteroduplex...
