Abstract excerpt
Two novel apoB gene mutations were identified in a patient (CM) with phenotypic homozygous hypobetalipoproteinemia. Haplotype analysis of the apoB alleles from this patient and his family members revealed him to be a genetic compound for the disease. In contrast to previous studies of other hypobetalipoproteinemic patients, no clues existed as to where in the apoB gene the molecular defects resided. Therefore, it...
