Abstract excerpt
A single nucleotide (A-->G) substitution in codon 370 (exon 8) of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene results in loss of a StuI restriction site and an amino acid change (Ala370-->Thr) in the translated protein. This biallelic polymorphism has been associated with significant variations in plasma lipid concentrations in several Caucasian populations. We investigated its prevalence and impact on lipid...
