Communicated by Alec J. Jeffreys Familial hypercholesterolemia by usual definition reflects mutations of the LDL-receptor gene. Extensive molecular characterization of mutations ascertained mainly through homozygotes (the Dallas collection) has been presented by Hobbs et al. (Hum Mutat 1:445-466, 19

We used the denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) method to investigate 120 Japanese patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) for mutations in the promoter region and the 18 exons and their flanking intron sequence of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Fourteen aberran
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
