Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify the mutation of low density lipoprotein receptor(LDLR) gene in a large Chinese family with familial hypercholesterolemia(F H) and make a discussion on the pathogenesis of FH at the molecular level. METHODS: Investigations were made on a patient with the clinical phenotype of homozygous FH and his parents for mutations of promoter and all 18 exons of LDLR gene. Screening was carried out...
