A hepatic lipase ( <i>LIPC</i> ) allele associated with high plasma concentrations of high density lipoprotein cholesterol
29 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Genetic factors strongly influence interindividual variation in plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, but the specific genetic polymorphisms that confer heritable variation in HDL-C levels have not been identified. In this study we examined the relationship between polymorphism in LIPC, the gene encoding hepatic lipase, and plasma HDL-C concentrations using a sequential approach comprising...
