Fifty St. Petersburg patients with type IIa hyperlipoproteinemia were screened for the presence of structural rearrangements in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene. One novel deletion of the length about 5 kilobases (kb) was found. This deletion seems to remove completely exons 4, 5, and 6 from the LDLR gene, coding for the largest part of the receptor ligand-binding domain.
对50名患有IIa型高脂蛋白血症的圣彼得堡患者进行了低密度脂蛋白受体(LDLR)基因结构重排的筛查。发现了一处长度约为5千碱基(kb)的新型缺失。该缺失似乎完全去除了LDLR基因中的第4、5和6外显子,这些外显子编码受体配体结合域的大部分。
