A mutation in the promoter of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene in a patient with familial combined hyperlipidemia and low LPL activity.
9 May 1995
Abstract excerpt
We have identified a naturally occurring mutation in the promoter of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene. One of 20 patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and reduced levels of postheparin plasma LPL activity was found to be a heterozygote carrier of this mutation. The mutation, a T-->C substitution at nt -39, occurred in the binding site of the transcription factor Oct-1. As a result, the...
