Abstract excerpt
We have applied the polymerase chain reaction to detect differences in relative amount of allele-specific transcripts of the low density lipoprotein receptor gene in individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). This method is based on detection of loss of heterozygosity of exon-specific restriction fragment length polymorphisms present in amplified mRNA fragments as compared to amplified...
