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
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
Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have elevated LDL-C levels, usually above the 90th percentile (P90) for age and gender. However, large-scale genetic cascade screening for FH showed that 15% of the LDL-receptor (LDLR) or Apolipoprotein B (APOB) mutation carriers have LDL-C levels bel
