Abstract excerpt
Structural and functional studies of the gene coding for the low density lipoprotein receptor in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia have uncovered over 180 mutant alleles of the gene. Although the classical familial hypercholesterolemia phenotype is well known, the range of phenotypic variability in lipid traits associated with particular mutations in familial hypercholesterolemia has not been...
