Abstract excerpt
The molecular defects in the gene encoding the lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) were investigated in an adult male patient affected with cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD), an autosomal recessive disorder associated with LAL deficient activity. Nucleotide sequencing of amplified LAL genomic DNA or reverse-transcribed mRNA demonstrated that this patient was a compound heterozygote for a previously reported...
