Transgenic mice carrying the apolipoprotein E3-Leiden gene exhibit hyperlipoproteinemia
1 May 1993
Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (apo) E3-Leiden, described in a large Dutch family, is associated with a dominantly inherited form of familial dysbetalipoproteinemia. To study the effect of the APOE*3-Leiden mutation in vivo, transgenic mice were generated using a genomic 27-kilobase DNA construct isolated from the APOE*3-Leiden proband. This construct carried the APOE gene, the APOC1 gene, and all known regulatory elements...
