Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder caused by numerous mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. Mutational analyses of Indians in South Africa suggest the possibility of a high frequency of FH in India. This study aimed at identifying mutations in exons 3,
We used the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method to investigate 13 apparently unrelated Spanish patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) for mutations in the promoter region and the 18 exons and their flanking intron sequences of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor ge
