Abstract excerpt
Hypertriglyceridemia is common among individuals with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and heterozygous lipoprotein lipase (LPL) mutations may result in the syndrome of familial hypertriglyceridemia and low levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. To test the hypothesis that heterozygous LPL mutations predispose to the hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL cholesterol levels observed among...
