Abstract excerpt
We previously reported a compound heterozygote [T(-39)C/T(-93)G] in the human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene promoter in one out of 19 patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and reduced post-heparin plasma LPL levels. The T(-39)C substitution resulted in 85% decrease in LPL promoter activity. Further screening of Caucasian patients with FCHL, coronary artery disease (CAD), and of unselected...
