Abstract excerpt
In a collection of DNA samples from 100 unrelated patients with clinical features of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a search for mutations of exons 4 and 10 of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene was performed using heteroduplex and single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analyses followed by sequencing of amplified DNA fragments. Four new mutations of the LDL receptor gene were...
