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
A rapid new method for the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) detects the deletion extending from intron 15 to exon 18 in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene, i.e. the FH-Helsinki mutation responsible for a major portion of FH in Finland. Amplification of the DNA sequences
During a survey of Italian patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), we identified an FH heterozygous patient with a gross rearrangement of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Southern blot analysis of the proband's DNA digested with restriction enzymes PvuII, BamHI, BglII and X
