摘要
Molecular genetic testing for presymptomatic identification of subjects affected by familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is difficult due to the heterogeneity of the mutations in the gene encoding the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in most populations. This investigation presents a detailed analysis of comparable, country-specific prevalence data of LDLR mutations in subjects with clinically defined FH and assesses the heterogeneous mutation diversity observed in most geographic regions.
