Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Here, we characterize an LDL receptor mutation that is associated with a distinct haplotype and that causes FH in the Jewish Sephardic population originating fr
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
