Probable linkage of LCAT locus in man to the α haptoglobin locus on chromosome 16

Nature volume 249, pages 550–551 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

LECITHIN: cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) catalyses the esterification of cholesterol in plasma. Familial LCAT deficiency was first described in 1967 (ref. 1); in 1970 a second2 family and in 1973 a third, with the same disease, were found in Norway. Seven patients with ages of 26–60 yr are now known in that country3.
