Abstract excerpt
Familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is an oligogenic disorder, with family members having elevated apolipoprotein B-100 levels and either elevated plasma cholesterol or triglyceride levels or both. Obligate heterozygous parents of children with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency express a mild FCHL phenotype. Of patients with FCHL, 36% have diminished postheparin LPL activity and mass values that are...
