Abstract excerpt
The underlying molecular defects that lead to a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase in two patients from different kindreds presenting with the familial hyperchylomicronemia syndrome have been identified. Sequence analysis of amplified LPL cDNA of the patient from the Bethesda kindred revealed a single point mutation (G to A) at position 781 of the normal gene that resulted in the substitution of an alanine for a...
