LDLR gene deletion and duplication mutation analysis in Blood or Tissue by MLPA
Active
Term Description
This term is used for testing the presence of large genomic duplications and deletions within the LDLR gene to aid in the diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).
Part Description
LP95532-5 LDLR gene
The LDLR gene (low density lipoprotein receptor) [HGNC Gene ID:6547] is located on chromosome 19p13.2. The low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene family consists of cell surface proteins involved in receptor-mediated endocytosis of specific ligands. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is normally bound at the cell membrane and taken into the cell ending up in lysosomes where the protein is degraded and the cholesterol is made available for repression of microsomal enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase, the rate-limiting step in cholesterol synthesis. At the same time, a reciprocal stimulation of cholesterol ester synthesis takes place. Mutations in this gene cause the autosomal dominant disorder, familial hypercholesterolemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2010] [NCBI Gene ID:3949]
