Abstract excerpt
We studied a case of familial Apolipoprotein CII deficiency. By Southern hybridization, amplification and sequence analysis, the genetic defect was identified. It consists in a point mutation C- greater than G in the third exon of the gene causing a premature stop codon. Truncated at the aa. 36 of the mature form, the protein loses its functional domains, becomes inefficient and cannot be detected in the plasma,...
