Mutations in the SORT1 gene are unlikely to cause autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To study whether mutations in the SORT1 gene could be a cause of autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia and to study the effect of sortilin on the binding and internalization of low density lipoprotein (LDL). METHODS: 842 unrelated hypercholesterolemic subjects without mutations in genes known to cause autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia, were screened for mutations in the SORT1 gene by DNA...
