Abstract excerpt
Hypertriglyceridemia is a heterogeneous lipid disorder often running in families. Variation in the apolipoprotein B (apo B) gene has been associated with serum triglyceride levels. Recently, a role of the amino-terminal end of apo B in binding with lipoprotein lipase (LPL) has been suggested. We...
