A novel on-line system for the selective precipitation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) using dextran sulfate has been devised and tested in four patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (type 11). The mean pretreatment serum cholesterol was 410 mg/dl. Plasma was generated by membran

Mutations of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor in 16 Japanese kindreds with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) were studied using an anti-LDL receptor antibody. The LDL receptor mutations in Japanese FH were heterogeneous and included defects in synthesis, post-translational proc
Removal of low-density lipoproteins from plasma by dextran sulfate adsorption (DSA) in FH patients entails a decrease in plasma levels of thyroid hormones (-28.5% and -18.78, respectively, for T3 and T4). This suggests that FH patients have a greater than normal fraction of thyroid hormones bound to
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
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a relatively common autosomal dominant disorder, which is characterized by elevated plasma concentrations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and early coronary heart disease. FH results from mutations in the gene encoding the LDL receptor
