[Molecular basis of familial hypercholesterolemia-like phenotype heterogeneity].

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH),which is caused by low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor mutation, leads to LDL-R dysfunction and high plasma LDL level and early onset of cardiovascular disease. LDL-R mutation has been regarded as the only cause of FH phenotype. However, evidences from recent studies showed that another six gene mutations can also result in FH like phenotype through different mechanism....
