Regulatory mutations in the human lipoprotein lipase gene in patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia and coronary artery disease

We previously reported a compound heterozygote [T(-39)C/T(-93)G] in the human lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene promoter in one out of 19 patients with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) and reduced post-heparin plasma LPL levels. The T(-39)C substitution resulted in 85% decrease in LPL promoter ac...
