Hypercholesterolemia is one of the major causes of coronary heart disease (CHD). The genes encoding the low-density lipoprotein receptor and its ligand apolipoprotein B, have been the two genes classically implicated in autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). Our discovery in 2003 of the firs
