Abstract excerpt
Two new point mutations have been detected in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene of a patient with a clinical diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The patient is a compound heterozygote, in whom the mutant allele inherited from his English father has a single base substitution of A for G in exon 3, changing the codon for residue 80 in the mature protein from glutamic acid to...
