Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of the silent mutation c.816C > G (L272) of Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 (NPC1L1) and of apolipoprotein (APO) E alleles on cholesterol absorption markers, sitosterol and campesterol, in 87 patients with primary hyperlipidemias. METHODS: In all subjects genotyped for silent polymorphism in NPC1L1 gene c.816C > G (L272L) and for APO E polymorphism, campesterol and sitosterol were...
