A deletion mutant in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene of a Japanese patient with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia was analyzed. Genomic Southern blotting showed abnormal size restriction fragments with BamHI (7.8 kb), EcoRI (3.8 kb), BglII (17 kb), KpnI (> 23 kb), EcoRV (13 kb), and XbaI (14 kb). The abnormal EcoRI fragment, 3.8 kb, was cloned into lambda phage vector, and the deleted region of 10 kb including exons 2 and 3 was identified. The nucleotide sequence around the deletion joint was determined. The sequence of the eight nucleotides in the deletion-joint region of the mutant gene was identical to the corresponding sequences of both introns 1 and 3 of the normal gene. The deletion seemed to occur by an unequal recombination between the Alu-like sequences in the same direction in introns 1 and 3.

D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D011973 Receptors, LDL Receptors on the plasma membrane of nonhepatic cells that specifically bind LDL. The receptors are localized in specialized regions called coated pits. Hypercholesteremia is caused by an allelic genetic defect of three types: 1, receptors do not bind to LDL; 2, there is reduced binding of LDL; and 3, there is normal binding but no internalization of LDL. In consequence, entry of cholesterol esters into the cell is impaired and the intracellular feedback by cholesterol on 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is lacking.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
