Abstract excerpt
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a pivotal role in lipid metabolism by hydrolyzing triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoprotein particles. Abnormalities in normal LPL function are associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). A number of genetic variants have been identified in the LPL gene that affects different functions of the LPL protein. A common HindIII polymorphism in intron 8 (T/G) of the LPL gene has...
