Abstract excerpt
We have performed restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis at the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) locus in order to investigate the molecular genetics of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Spain. Firstly, a sample of 50 unrelated patients with a clinical diagnosis of FH was screened for the presence of major rearrangements at this locus by Southern blot analysis of BglII digested...
