We screened a group of patients from southern Italy with clinically diagnosed familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) for mutations of the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene. RNA from each proband was analysed by RT-PCR followed by complete cDNA sequencing. Among 51 unrelated FH families we detected 17 mutations a
