Alternative splicing of mutant LDL-receptor mRNA in an Italian patient with familial hypercholesterolemia due to a partial deletion of LDL-receptor gene (FHPotenza)

An analysis of LDL-receptor gene was performed on an Italian patient with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Restriction enzyme analysis showed that the proband was heterozygous for a deletion of 4.5 kb spanning the 5' end of exon 13 (45 nucleotide residues) to intron 15. Amplification...
