Abstract excerpt
The enzyme lipoprotein lipase (LPL) plays a crucial role in triglyceride metabolism through catalysis of triglyceride-rich chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. Primary LPL deficiency manifests with chylomicronaemia and is caused by mutations in the LPL gene. In this paper we report a novel molecular defect (G670-->A) in exon 4 of the LPL gene, resulting in a substitution of serine for glycine at...
