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 FHBL phenotype in more than 30 kindreds. By contrast, no truncated forms of apoB protein were detected with sensitive...
