Two DNA polymorphisms in the lipoprotein lipase gene and their associations with factors related to cardiovascular disease.

1 Mar 1993

Abstract excerpt

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a crucial role in plasma lipoprotein processing by catalyzing the hydrolysis of core triglycerides of chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Several polymorphic restriction sites have been reported in the LPL gene, including those identified by the enzymes HindIII and PvuII. We have determined the HindIII and PvuII polymorphisms in diabetic (D) and non-diabetic (ND)...
