Abstract excerpt
The recent characterization of a rare genetic defect causing autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH) has provided new insights into the underlying mechanism of clathrin-mediated internalization of the LDL receptor. Mutations in ARH on chromosome 1p35-36.1 prevent normal internalization of the LDL receptor by cultured lymphocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages but not by skin fibroblasts. In affected...
