  • Very low density lipoprotein receptor polymorphisms and uses therefor
    Patent number: 6833240
    Abstract: Polymorphic nucleic acid molecules encoding the very low density lipoprotein receptor are described, as well as gene products encoded by these nucleic acid molecules. Allele-specific primers and probes hybridizing to regions flanking or containing these sites are also described, along with methods of use therefor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 21, 2004
    Assignees: McGill University, Complexe Hospitalier de la Sagamie
    Inventors: James C. Engert, Marie-Claude Vohl, Carl Brewer, Kenneth Morgan, Daniel Gaudet, Thomas J. Hudson
  • Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha and disorders of lipid metabolism
    Publication number: 20030165977
    Abstract: The complete genomic structure of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha gene is described. Also described are the identification of novel single nucleotide polymorphisms and association with higher plasma LDL-cholesterol and total and LDL-apolipoprotein B concentrations.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 7, 2003
    Publication date: September 4, 2003
    Applicant: Complexe Hospitalier de la Sigamie
    Inventors: Thomas J. Hudson, Marie-Claude Vohl, Carl Brewer, Kenneth Morgan, Daniel Gaudet

  • Methods for predicting susceptibility to obesity and obesity-associated health problems
    Publication number: 20030032099
    Abstract: Methods for determining an individual's susceptibility to obesity or to a health disorder associated with obesity, comprising detecting an allele at a polymorphic site genetically linked to the resistin gene locus, wherein the allele is further linked to obesity, and wherein detection of the allele is indicative of the patient's susceptibility to a health disorder associated with obesity are provided. Also included in the present disclosure are nucleic acid molecules containing allelic variants at polymorphic sites.
