OBJECTIVE: Rare mutations in the APOE gene, undetectable with the usual genotyping technique, are responsible for dominant familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) and therefore could be easily misclassified as familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). We aimed to identify APOE mutations associated with dominant combined hyperlipoproteinemia and to establish their frequency in subjects with a clinical diagnosis of...
