Because mutation detection has become an integrated part of clinical medicine in the diagnosis of patients with FH and other genetic disorders, it is important to determine the sensitivity ofthe applied detection method. We compared results of the PCR-SSCP method in detecting sequence variations with results of semiautomated sequencing of amplified DNA of the entire coding regions of the LDL receptor gene including the exon-flanking intron sequences as well as the promoter region in 20 apparently unrelated patients with heterozygous FH diagnosed by clinical criteria.
