Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genetic substrate of severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) in Latin America is insufficiently understood. OBJECTIVE: To identify genetic variants in genes related to triglyceride (TG) metabolism among adults with sHTG from Colombia. METHODS: In individuals with plasma TG ≥ 880 mg/dL at least once in their lifetime, we amplified and sequenced all exons and intron/exon boundaries of the genes LPL,...
