Abstract excerpt
Gene mutations at the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor locus were screened in 210 alleles of Japanese patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). In the present study, two types of novel mutation were identified by genomic Southern blotting using human LDL receptor cDNA probes. An approximately 12 kb deletion including exons 2 and 3 (and possibly 4) was identified in a patient (M.I.). The patient...
