Abstract excerpt
Twenty-two Sardinian families with multiple cases of hypercholesterolemia were investigated with six polymorphic markers of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene that could be quickly analyzed by PCR-based methods. Five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in exons 8, 10, 13, 15, and 18 and a microsatellite marker flanking the 3' end of the LDLR gene were used to define the haplotypes at the LDLR...
