Abstract excerpt
Classic LCAT deficiency (CLD) and fish eye disease (FED) are two clinically distinct syndromes, associated with defects in the lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) gene resulting in total (CLD) or partial (FED) enzyme deficiency. In order to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms...
