Segregation of LIPG, CETP, and GALNT2 Mutations in Caucasian Families with Extremely High HDL Cholesterol

To date, few mutations are described to underlie highly-elevated HDLc levels in families. Here we sequenced the coding regions and adjacent sequence of the LIPG, CETP, and GALNT2 genes in 171 unrelated Dutch Caucasian probands with HDLc≥90th percentile and analyzed segregation of mutations with lipi...
