Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The genetic determinants of severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG; MIM 144650) in adults are poorly defined. We therefore resequenced 3 candidate genes, namely LPL, APOC2, and APOA5, to search for accumulation of missense mutations in patients with severe HTG compared with normolipidemic subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS: We resequenced >2 million base pairs of genomic DNA from 110 nondiabetic patients with...
