Abstract excerpt
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a monogenic disease known to be caused by low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene mutations, results in the development of premature atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease in affected individuals. The spectrum of LDLR gene mutations in Russia is poorly known. Using polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, followed by...
