Elevated blood plasma cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans. Genetic dissection of polygenic lipid and lipoprotein disorders in swine, a key animal model for the study of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and CAD, led to the isolation
A high incidence of mutations in exon 6 of the low-density lipoprotein receptor gene in Greek familial hypercholesterolemia patients, including a novel mutation

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein (LDL)-receptor gene. We found a new mutation in the splice acceptor site of intron 1 of the LDL receptor gene, which is designated as 68-1 G->C according to the nomenclature suggested by , in
Although the efficacy of fluvastatin (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor) in the treatment of primary hypercholesterolemia is well documented, a wide interindividual variation treatment response has been observed. We have studied the possible role of the AvaII (exon 13), HincII (exon 12), and PvuII (intron
Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA), also called hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV), is caused by mutations of the NTRK1 gene coding for the neurotrophic tyrosine kinase receptor type 1. We report the results of the NTRK1 sequence analysis in a CIPA fam
