Abstract excerpt
Several environmental and genetic factors are associated with high levels of cholesterol. Hypercholesterolemia is the main phenotype of Familial Defective Apolipoprotein B and Familial Hypercholesterolemia that are caused by mutations at the apolipoprotein (apo) B and LDL receptor genes, respectively. Identification of the specific genetic alteration associated with hypercholesterolemia is an important issue in...
