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
Mutations in the gene for low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) lead to a disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Affected individuals are characterized by increased levels of cholesterol in plasma, tendinous xanthomas, arcus lipoides corneae, and premature coronary heart disease. Up
To investigate the molecular basis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in France, we applied the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) method to the promoter region and the 18 exons of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. Seven probands, 4 heterozygotes, 2 compound heterozygo
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
