Abstract excerpt
Hyperlipidemia arises from a disturbance in the balance between production and degradation of lipoprotein particles. Variation in the secretion of human apolipoprotein B (apoB), the major protein component of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, directly affects this homeostasis. Naturally occurring apoB signal peptide variants (associated with hypertriglyceridemia, altered postprandial lipid metabolism, or...
