Abstract excerpt
We used the single-strand conformational polymorphism method to screen 311 patients with familial hypercholesterolemia from London lipid clinics and Southampton and South West Hampshire health district for mutations in the 3' part of exon 4 of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene.
