Abstract excerpt
Autosomal dominant (AD) familial hypercholesterolemia [FH; Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) 143890] typically results from mutations in the LDL receptor gene (LDLR), which are now commonly diagnosed using exon-by-exon screening methods, such as exon-by-exon sequence analysis (EBESA) of genomic DNA (gDNA). However, many patients with FH have no LDLR mutation identified by this method. Part of the diagnostic gap...
