Abstract excerpt
Here we report on the molecular defect that leads to a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in a proband of Dutch descent. Southern-blot analysis of the LPL gene from the patient did not reveal any major DNA rearrangements. Sequencing of polymerase-chain-reaction-amplified DNA revealed that the proband is a homozygote for G725C, resulting in a substitution of Pro157 for Arg. This substitution alters a...
