Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: There is little knowledge about familial hypercholesterolemia in Brazil. This study presents the first results of genetic cascade screening performed in the city of Sao Paulo. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two-hundred and forty-eight suspected index cases were initially included. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood and the complete coding sequence of low-density lipoprotein receptor, exon 7 of proprotein...
