Abstract excerpt
Epidemiologic and genetic data suggest an inverse relationship between plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and the incidence of premature coronary artery disease. Some of the defects leading to low levels of HDL may be a consequence of mutations in the genes coding for HDL apolipoproteins A-I and A-II or for enzymes that modify these particles. A proband with plasma apoA-I and HDL cholesterol that...
