Hypercholesterolemia in five Israeli Christian-Arab kindreds is caused by the "Lebanese" allele at the low density lipoprotein receptor gene locus and by an additional independent major factor.

Abstract excerpt

Segregation analyses were performed for plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in five Christian Arab kindreds identified through probands with familial hypercholesterolemia. In this subset of the Christian Arab community, the results were consistent with major gene determination of LDL-C with allele frequency (q) of 0.042 (95%...
