Fifty St. Petersburg patients with type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia were screened for the presence of structural rearrangements in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. One novel deletion of the length about 5 kilobases (kb) was found. This deletion seems to remove completely exons 4, 5, an
The low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor genes from 18 unrelated Japanese heterozygotes and 1 homozygote with classical familial hypercholesterolemia were analyzed by Southern blot hybridization using fragments of the human LDL receptor cDNA as probes. Four different deletion mutations were detect
## Communicated fq L e n a Peltonen A combined deletiodinversion rearrangement of the LDL receptor gene was discovered in a Finnish patient with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Sequence analysis of the mutated allele revealed an insertion of 4 nucleotides in exon 11, caused by a c
