Phenotypic variation and genetic polymorphism of low-density lipoprotein exon 4 receptor gene among Jordanian familial hypercholesterolemia patients
Purpose. The aim of this study was to measure lipid profiles among severe and mild familial hypercholestrolemic (FH) patients and to screen unrelated families for LDL receptor (LDLR) gene polymorphism. Methods. Fifteen FH patients and six controls were enrolled in the study. Total cholesterol (CH),...
