Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein (apo) E mediates the removal of chylomicron and VLDL remnants from plasma. In a proband with mild hyperlipidemia and a family history of premature coronary artery disease, we have identified a new mutant of apoE with an isoelectric point close to but distinct from that of apoE3. Sequencing of the apoE gene from this subject (JB) revealed that the subject was heterozygous for a G to A substitution...
