Abstract excerpt
Mutational defects in the LDL receptor are responsible for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH); thus far more than 150 mutations have been described. Nevertheless, systematic searches among the Germans have not been conducted. We used single-strand conformational polymorphism and polymerase chain reaction to find mutations in 10 index patients and in 40 other individuals with heterozygous FH. Our screen in the 10...
