Abstract excerpt
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) usually presents with severe elevations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Recently, a family with FH was described in which several members heterozygous for a mutation in the LDL receptor gene had normal LDL cholesterol levels. Kinetic studies of LDL apolipoprotein B (apo B) were conducted to determine the metabolic differences between the normolipidemic...
