Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patients with the splice site mutation c.313+1, G>A in intron 3 of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene, present with a phenotype similar to that of FH patients in general. However, a mild phenotype would have been expected from the published data showing that the mutation only causes skipping of exon 3. METHODS: Epstein Barr virus-transformed lymphocytes...
