Abstract excerpt
Post-heparin lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase activities are used to identify primary disorders of triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol metabolism. Their ability to identify common variants in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and hepatic lipase (LIPC) genes is unclear. To investigate the ability of lipase testing to detect common lipase gene variants, we included 183 patients who had undergone post-heparin lipase...
