We have applied the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) technique to detect sequence variations in exon 9 of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene in individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). A fragment containing exon 9 and 25 base pairs (bp) of the int

The apolipoprotein B gene is subject to mutations that may be important in coronary heart diseases. We have used polymerase chain reaction and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis to characterize a single nucleotide substitution in the apolipoprotein B gene. This mutation affects amino acid 4311
DNA sequencing of enzymatically-amplified exons of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene from several individuals revealed a polymorphism in exon 10 of the gene. The codon for arginine 450 was converted from AGG to AGA in some alleles.
Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) was used in combination with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect sequence variations in the promoter region of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. On the basis of calculated predictive melting properties we designed primers to am
