We previously demonstrated that the PvuII polymorphism is a useful marker to analyze the genetic defects in familial lipoprotein lipase (LPL) deficiency. In this study, we have mapped this polymorphic site and cloned the gene fragments containing this site from a patient and a normal subject. Comparative sequence analysis revealed that a C-T transition occurred in the gene of the patient at the PvuII site in the intron 6. Interestingly, the sequence near the PvuII site showed a significant homology to the consensus sequence of the 3' splice site. In addition, the insertional event into the human LPL gene, which was recently reported for a population of Caucasian patients, was not observed for eight unrelated Japanese patients, suggesting that genetic defects underlying familial LPL deficiency should be heterogeneous among races.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006951	Hyperlipoproteinemias	Conditions with abnormally elevated levels of LIPOPROTEINS in the blood. They may be inherited, acquired, primary, or secondary. Hyperlipoproteinemias are classified according to the pattern of lipoproteins on electrophoresis or ultracentrifugation.	Hyperlipoproteinemia
D008071	Lipoprotein Lipase	An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. The enzyme hydrolyzes triacylglycerols in chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins, low-density lipoproteins, and diacylglycerols. It occurs on capillary endothelial surfaces, especially in mammary, muscle, and adipose tissue. Genetic deficiency of the enzyme causes familial hyperlipoproteinemia Type I.

D008072	Hyperlipoproteinemia Type I	An inherited condition due to a deficiency of either LIPOPROTEIN LIPASE or APOLIPOPROTEIN C-II (a lipase-activating protein). The lack of lipase activities results in inability to remove CHYLOMICRONS and TRIGLYCERIDES from the blood which has a creamy top layer after standing.
