Abstract excerpt
Hepatic lipase (HL) is an endothelial enzyme involved in the metabolism of intermediate density lipoproteins (IDL) and high density lipoproteins (HDL) in plasma. In a Finnish pedigree consisting of 18 members belonging to three generations two missense mutations RI86H and L334F in exons 5 and 7 of the HL gene co-segregated with low post-heparin HL activity. Haplotype analysis of the HL gene in family members...
