Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the LDL receptor (LDLR) or the apolipoprotein B-100 genes causing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and familial defective apolipoprotein B-100 (FDB), two of the most frequent inherited diseases, are the underlying genetic defects in a small proportion of patients suffering from premature atherosclerotic heart disease. Consequently, secure diagnostic tools for these conditions allowing early...
