Association of genetic variations in apolipoprotein B with hypercholesterolemia, coronary artery disease, and receptor binding of low density lipoproteins
To search for unique mutations in the apolipoprotein B (apoB) gene that disrupt the binding of LDL to its receptor and cause hypercholesterolemia, we examined more than 800 patients with high LDL cholesterol levels and/or coronary artery disease (CAD). Analysis of patient DNA by single-strand confor...
