Abstract excerpt
We screened 160 unrelated Chinese hypertriglyceridemic subjects for sequence alterations in the promoter and the 10 exons of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene. We identified one reported mutation (L252R), one common polymorphism (S447X), and six novel mutations: V181I, C283Y, S298R and S338F (found in single individuals), L252V (in two individuals), and A71T (in three individuals). Screening of family members of...
