Abstract excerpt
We analyzed the molecular defects in the lipoprotein lipase gene of a patient with type I hyperlipidemia suffering from recurrent pancreatitis, indicative for lipoprotein lipase deficiency. Postheparin lipoprotein lipase activity in the patient was decreased by 70%. Direct genomic sequencing revealed compound heterozygosity for two mutation: the well-known Gly188-->Glu and a new Val69-->Leu substitution. Val69 is...
