These findings indicate that the decreased intestinal bile acid absorption in FHTG patients is not commonly associated with inherited defects in SLC10A2.
Commensurate with these mRNA levels, the mean ASBT protein level in the control group was 126.2 +/- 22.6 versus 58.8 +/- 13.8 in hypertriglyceridemics (P = 0.02) and 61.8 +/- 15.2 in the FHT patients (P = 0.05).
