Abstract excerpt
mRNA of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene from 22 heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemic subjects possessing different mutations in this gene was analyzed by Northern blot analysis and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in order to detect abnormally spliced transcripts. These analyses revealed abnormally spliced transcripts for the two splice-site mutations 1359-1G-->A and...
