Abstract excerpt
For the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), many mutations have been characterized which identify this gene as one with an important role in lipid metabolism in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Genetic heterogeneity at this locus raises the possibility that the LDLR may also contribute to variation in cholesterol levels in the normocholesterolemic population. We have determined genotypes at...
