Many mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene (LDLR) have been characterized at the molecular level in individuals with familial hypercholesterolemia. Most of the mutations that have been reported are large deletions or insertions in the gene, it being much more difficult to identify p
A novel complex mutation with the presence of both deletion and insertion in very close proximity in the same region was detected in exon 8 of the LDL receptor gene from two apparently unrelated Japanese families with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). In this mutant LDL receptor gene, the nine bas
