Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: A common gain-of-function LPL variant, LPLS447X, has favorable clinical features and involves a C→G base change at nucleotide 1595 of the LPL cDNA, along with a haplotype, which includes other non-coding SNPs. The mechanism for the LPL gain-in-function is not clear. LPL translation is regulated by epinephrine by an RNA-protein complex, consisting of PKA subunits and an A kinase anchoring protein...
