Abstract excerpt
Since the cloning of the human LDL receptor (LDLR) gene, familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) can be diagnosed by recombinant DNA technology either using restriction enzyme mapping to detect major rearrangements of the gene or using restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) and linkage analysis in family studies. Genotypes and haplotypes of four RFLPs (StuI, ApaII 5', PvuII, NcoI) were used to study the...
