Abstract excerpt
Familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 (FDB) is a recently identified, dominantly inherited genetic disorder, which leads to an increased serum level of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol with reduced affinity for the LDL receptor. It is postulated that this disorder results from a G to A mutation at nucleotide 10,708 in exon 26 of the apo B gene creating a substitution of glutamine for arginine in the...
