Homozygous deletion of exon 9 causes lipoprotein lipase deficiency: possible intron-Alu recombination.

We studied a homozygous deletion in the lipoprotein lipase gene at the molecular level. Comprising the end of intron 8, the whole of exon 9, and about two-thirds of intron 9, this 2.136-kb deletion caused complete lipoprotein lipase deficiency and severe hypertriglyceridemia (type I hyperlipoprotein...
