Uncommon allele in APO AI-CIII-AIV gene cluster in a family with congenital generalized lipodystrophy

Säo Paulo med. j; 115 (6), 1997
Congenital generalized lipodystrophy is a rare inherited disease. One of its features is a disturbance in lipid metabolism characterized by hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia. A brother and a sister with congenital generalized lipodystrophy, an 8-year old male and a 12-year old female were stu...

Platelet aggregation and lipoprotein leves in a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia after sective LDL-apheresis

Säo Paulo med. j; 115 (3), 1997
Platelet aggregation was studied in a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia immediately after aphereis selective for low-density lipoprotein (LDL), a lipid-lowering procedure. This treatment reduced plasmatic levels of total and LDL-cholesterol, apo B, and triglyceride. Increased platelet aggregatio...
