A complete genomic analysis of the apolipoprotein E gene in Chinese patients with lipoprotein glomerulopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations of the apolipoprotein E (apo E) gene are thought to play an etiological role in lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG), a novel kidney disease. Evidence suggesting that mutated forms of apo E may be present in LPG includes elevated plasma concentrations of apo E in LPG patients and deposition of apo E in their glomerular capillaries, and there are published reports indicating that mutations of the apo E gene...
