Abstract excerpt
We have identified the cytosine to thymine change in the codon for amino acid 408 which causes valine to be replaced by methionine in exon 9 of the LDL receptor gene in a 12-year-old Greek boy living in Germany, with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, by using polymerase chain reaction-amplified genomic DNA and subsequent restriction digestion. Homozygosity was confirmed by direct DNA sequencing. The...
