Relative contribution of low-density lipoprotein receptor and lipoprotein lipase gene mutations to angiographically assessed coronary artery disease among French Canadians.

Abstract excerpt

Men with low-density lipoprotein receptor gene mutations causing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are at high risk of premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The dyslipidemic state found among patients who are heterozygous for mutations in the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene may also increase the risk of CAD. In the present study, the association of the heterozygous forms of low-density lipoprotein receptor gene...
