Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that apo A-IV may play a role in modulating the activation of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) by apo C-II (Goldberg et al., 1990). Therefore, the role of genetic variation at the apolipoprotein A-IV locus in familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) was investigated. A subset of FCHL patients with half the level of plasma LPL activity was screened by single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) for...
