Abstract excerpt
We have shown previously that a hepatic lipase allele (designated -514T) is common among African Americans and contributes to low hepatic lipase activity in this population. To identify other hepatic lipase alleles associated with low hepatic lipase activity in this population, the coding region and intron-exon boundaries of the hepatic lipase gene were sequenced in 20 African American men with low hepatic lipase...
