Abstract :
Three of the original Norwegian lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency families have been investigated for mutations in the gene for lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase by DNA sequencing of the exons amplified by the polymerase chain reaction. A single T----A transversion in codon 252 in exon 6 converting Met(ATG) to Lys(AAG) was observed in all homozygotes. In spite of the identical mutation, the disease phenotypes differed in severity. This was not reflected in the expression of LCAT in the heterozygotes. |
