Abstract excerpt
Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is a co-dominant disorder characterized by reduced plasma levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and its protein constituent apolipoprotein B (apoB), which may be due to mutations in APOB gene, mostly located in the coding region of this gene. We report two novel APOB gene mutations involving the acceptor splice site of intron 11 (c.1471-1G>A) and of intron...
