Abstract
Elevated serum levels of apo B-containing lipoproteins are associated with risk of Ischaemic Heart Disease1, therefore factors controlling apo B synthesis in the liver and intestine are important to our understanding the development of hyperlipidaemia and atherosclerosis. It may be possible to obtain a better idea of the control of apo B synthesis by studying patients with defects in the synthesis and secretion of apo B containing lipoproteins.
