Familial Chylomicronemia Due to Mutations in Apolipoprotein CII: Apolipoprotein CII-Toronto and Apolipoprotein CII-St. Michael

  • Chapter
Human Apolipoprotein Mutants 2

Abstract

In this article, we present a summary of our work in establishing the molecular defect in two separate families that were characterized as having familial chylomicronemia due to a deficiency of apolipoprotein CII (apoCII).
