DNA samples from 60 unrelated Belgian hypercholesterolemic patients were subjected to heteroduplex analysis of exon 4 of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. Aberrant mobility bands were detected in 2 patients and the underlying mutations were characterized by DNA sequence analysis. Bot
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
