Low frequency of the common Norwegian and Finnish LDL-receptor mutations in Swedish patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia.

Journal of internal medicine - 1 Jul 1998

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the frequency of the common Finnish and Norwegian mutations in the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene in Swedish patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), and to start screening for other mutations in these patients. In contrast to the situation in Norway and Finland, where the frequency of common mutations causing the disease has been determined, very little about the...
