Lipoprotein Lipase (LPL) Gene Mutation: A First Report in Children
Genetic hyperchylomicronemia is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of lipoprotein metabolism estimated to affect approximately one per million individuals. We report a case with a rare mutation identified. It’s a genetic chylomicronemia in a Moroccan newborn baby, with massive hypertriglyceridemia and clinical signs of acute pancreatitis. She was a newborn female, first-degree of consanguineou...
متن کاملHeterogeneous mutations in the human lipoprotein lipase gene in patients with familial lipoprotein lipase deficiency.
The DNA sequences were determined for the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) gene from five unrelated Japanese patients with familial LPL deficiency. The results demonstrated that all five patients are homozygotes for distinct point mutations dispersed throughout the LPL gene. Patient 1 has a G-to-A transition at the first nucleotide of intron 2, which abolishes normal splicing. Patient 2 has a nonsense ...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms as risk factors for stroke: a computational and meta-analysis
Objective(s): Stroke is the most common neurological disorder and genetic susceptibility has an important role in its etiology. Polymorphism in several genes such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is propounded as a risk for stroke. This meta-analysis investigated the association of rs285 and rs320 LPL polymorphism with stroke risk. Materials and Methods: We searched PubMed, Clarivate Analytics Web o...
متن کاملPhenotypic variation of mutations in the human lipoprotein-lipase gene.
We have described a large number of different mutations in the LPL gene that result in completely catalytically defective LPL protein. More recently exonic polymorphisms in the LPL gene have been described that do not result in the catalytic activity of LPL being significantly impaired. Furthermore we have recently described a patient who is homozygous for a mutation in the LPL gene in a conser...
متن کاملLipoprotein lipase and acid lipase activity in rabbit brain microvessels.
A preparation of cerebral microvessels was used to demonstrate the presence of lipoprotein lipase and acid lipase activity in the microvasculature of rabbit brain. Microvessels, consisting predominantly of capillaries, small arterioles, and venules, were islated from rabbit brain. Homogenates were assayed for lipolytic activity using a glycerol-stabilized trioleoylglycerol-phospholipid emulsion...
