Abstract excerpt
We examined the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene by single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) and by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in 106 patients with hypertriglyceridemia to screen for novel mutations and to study the contribution of LPL genetic defects in hypertriglyceridemia. We found a single incidence of a homozygous novel nonsense mutation (216G-->A; -14Tryptophan-->stop codon)...
