Abstract excerpt
We have investigated a patient of English ancestry with familial chylomicronemia caused by lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency. DNA sequence analysis of all exons and intron-exon boundaries of the LPL gene identified two single-base mutations, a T----C transition for codon 86 (TGG) at nucleotide 511, resulting in a Trp86----Arg substitution, and a C----T transition at nucleotide 571, involving the codon CAG...
