Fifty St. Petersburg patients with type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia were screened for the presence of structural rearrangements in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. One novel deletion of the length about 5 kilobases (kb) was found. This deletion seems to remove completely exons 4, 5, an
Elevated blood plasma cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) is a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans. Genetic dissection of polygenic lipid and lipoprotein disorders in swine, a key animal model for the study of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and CAD, led to the isolation
