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
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
