Abstract excerpt
We have identified the molecular basis for familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency in two unrelated families with the syndrome of familial hyperchylomicronemia. All 10 exons of the LPL gene were amplified from the two probands' genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction. In family 1 of French descent, direct sequencing of the amplification products revealed that the patient was heterozygous for two missense...
