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
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
