| 摘要 |
Recombinant DNA transfer vectors containing DNA inserts which are complementary to either the human LDL receptor gene, or its mRNA transcript, are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods which utilize these genetic probes for diagnosing Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) in a suspected individual. A case study of one such individual, FH 274, is disclosed wherein the genetic deletion mutation is detailed with great precision through the practice of this invention. |
