Functional Characterization of Two Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor Gene Mutations in Two Chinese Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia

BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease that primarily results from mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. We investigated two unrelated Chinese FH patients using gene screening and functional analysis to reveal the pathogenicity and th...
