Abstract

We previously determined sequenced the PNLIP gene encoding pancreatic lipase in cell lines of subjects with clinical deficiency of pancreatic lipase (MIM 246600) and found no putative disease-causing mutations. As part of the ongoing analysis of the genomic DNA of these subjects, we now report the development of genomic amplification primers to sequence the coding regions of CLPS, CEL, PLRP1, and PLRP2, encoding pancreatic co-lipase, carboxyl-ester lipase, and pancreatic-lipase-related proteins-1 and -2, respectively. Whereas we found no putative disease-causing missense or nonsense mutations in these samples, we discovered a total of 13 common polymorphisms (12 single nucleotide polymorphisms) in these four genes. Genotypes of these polymorphisms may be useful in future association analyses.
