Abstract excerpt
Familial hypobetalipoproteinemia (FHBL) is an autosomal dominant disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by extremely low plasma levels of apolipoprotein B (apoB), and total-, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Various truncated forms of apoB have been found to cosegregate with the...
