Abstract excerpt
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is one of the major protein constituents of chylomicron and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) remnants and plays a central role as a ligand in the receptor-mediated uptake of these particles by the liver. Here we describe a new variant of apoE, apoE1-Hammersmith, which is associated with dominantly expressed type III hyperlipidaemia. The propositus, aged 26, developed tubero-eruptive...
