Phenotypic consequences of a deletion of exons 2 and 3 of the LDL receptor gene.

Abstract excerpt

Screening for structural alterations of the low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene by Southern blot analysis revealed an abnormal band pattern in one subject with a clinical diagnosis of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The molecular defect was further characterized by polymerase chain reaction and cDNA sequencing. These analyses identified a 4.8 kb in-frame deletion of exons 2 and 3, where...
