A new mouse mutant for the LDL receptor identified using ENU mutagenesis*

In an effort to discover new mouse models of cardiovascular disease using N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis followed by high-throughput phenotyping, we have identified a new mouse mutation, C699Y, in the LDL receptor (Ldlr), named wicked high cholesterol (WHC).
