Abstract excerpt
We have systematically investigated a genetic defect resulting in a primary lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency in a proband TN and his affected brother SN, both manifesting familial hyperchylomicronemia. Neither LPL activity nor immunoreactive LPL mass was detected in postheparin plasma from the two patients. Immunocytochemical and biosynthetic studies on the proband's monocyte-derived macrophages with rabbit...
