The role of the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene in familial combined hyperlipidaemia (FCH) is unclear at present. We screened a group of 28 probands with familial combined hyperlipidaemia and a group of 91 population controls for two LPL gene mutations, D9N and N291S. LPL-D9N was found in two proba...
