We have identified a polymorphic insertion in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene in a captive baboon colony. Mapping and nucleotide (nt) sequence analysis of the polymorphism showed that it is due to the presence or absence of an Alu repetitive element in intron 7 of the baboon LPL gene. This polymorphic Alu repeat has not been reported in humans, and we did not detect the repeat in a survey of the LPL intron 7...
