Abstract excerpt
Complete deficiency of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) causes the chylomicronemia syndrome. To understand the molecular basis of LPL deficiency, two siblings with drastically reduced postheparin plasma lipolytic activities were selected for analysis of their LPL gene. We used the polymerase chain reaction to examine the nine coding LPL exons in the two affected siblings and three relatives. DNA sequence analysis...
