A novel homozygous mutation causing lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency in a proband of Romanian origin with a record of extreme gestational hyperlipidemia.

Abstract excerpt

A patient from Romania with extraordinarily high total cholesterol levels and clinical and biochemical features consistent with familial lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase deficiency is reported. The genetic analysis performed on our proband showed a novel homozygous mutation on codon 119 of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase gene that causes the substitution of glycine by aspartate. The same mutation, also...
