Abstract excerpt
Analysis of single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP) was employed to screen familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) subjects for point mutations in exon 7 of the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. An abnormal band pattern was found in one out of 100 unrelated FH subjects. The underlying mutation was found by DNA sequencing to be due to heterozygosity (C/T) at nucleotide 1048. Nucleotide 1048 is the...
