Abstract excerpt
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a disease caused by a variety of mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLr) gene, leads not only to elevated LDL-cholesterol (C) concentrations but to reduced high density lipoprotein (HDL)-C and apolipoprotein (apo) A-I concentrations as well. The reductions in HDL-C and apoA-I are the consequence of the combined metabolic defects of increased apoA-I catabolism...
