  • Title: Genomic organization of the human lysosomal acid lipase gene (LIPA).
    Author: Aslanidis C, Klima H, Lackner KJ, Schmitz G.
    Journal: Genomics; 1994 Mar 15; 20(2):329-31. PubMed ID: 8020990.
    Abstract:
    Defects in the human lysosomal acid lipase gene are responsible for cholesteryl ester storage disease (CESD) and Wolman disease. Exon skipping as the cause for CESD has been demonstrated. We present here a summary of the exon structure of the entire human lysosomal acid lipase gene consisting of 10 exons, together with the sizes of genomic EcoRI and SacI fragments hybridizing to each exon. In addition, the DNA sequence of the putative promoter region is presented. The EMBL accession numbers for adjacent intron sequences are given.
