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
Mutations of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor in 16 Japanese kindreds with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) were studied using an anti-LDL receptor antibody. The LDL receptor mutations in Japanese FH were heterogeneous and included defects in synthesis, post-translational proc
