Abstract excerpt
A deletion mutant in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene of a Japanese patient with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia was analyzed. Genomic Southern blotting showed abnormal size restriction fragments with BamHI (7.8 kb), EcoRI (3.8 kb), BglII (17 kb), KpnI (> 23 kb), EcoRV (13 kb), and XbaI (14 kb). The abnormal EcoRI fragment, 3.8 kb, was cloned into lambda phage vector, and the deleted region of...
