Abstract excerpt
We studied the molecular basis of familial Type I hyperlipoproteinemia in two brothers of Turkish descent who had normal plasma apolipoprotein C-II levels and undetectable plasma post-heparin lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity. We cloned the cDNAs of LPL mRNA from adipose tissue biopsies obtained from these individuals by the polymerase chain reaction and directional cloning into M13 vectors. Direct sequencing of...
