We used the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method to define mutations in the promoter region, the 18 exons, and their flanking intronic sequences of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene LDLR, causing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) phenotype in 100 German and in 100 Gre

Mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene cause familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an autosomal dominant inherited disorder associated with an increased risk of premature atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to characterize the LDLR mutations in a group of 476 apparently n
## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Mutations underlying FH in Spain are largely unknown because only a few and limited surveys have been carried out on Spanish FH patients up to now. To gain information on this issue, we have analysed a group of 113 unrelated Spanish FH patients from an eastern ar
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
In order to identify mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene in primary hypercholesterolemia, we screened 100 unrelated German individuals with elevated plasma LDL-C (LDL-C > 4,7 mmol/l) for mutations in the 18 exons and their flanking intronic sequences including the promoter
## Communicated by Mark H. Paalman Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene mutations cause familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), one of the most common single gene disorders. The spectrum of LDLR mutations in Brazil is not known. The aim of this study was the characterization of LDLR mutations
