Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the core triacylglycerols of plasma very low density lipoproteins (VLDL) and chylomicrons (Brunzell, 1995). It thus controls a crucial step in the metabolism of triglycerides of exogenous and endogenous origin. Inherited LPL deficiency is clinica
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the hydrolysis of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins. Numerous LPL gene mutations have been described as a cause of familial chylomicronemia in various populations. In general, allelic heterogeneity is observed in LPL deficiency in different popul
