Abstract excerpt
DNA from 30 unrelated Spanish patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) was studied by single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP)/heteroduplex analysis for mutation detection in exon 13 of low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene. Two patients were found to have an abnormal pattern by heteroduplex analysis, and direct sequencing revealed a C to G substitution at nucleotide position 1965, that...
