To investigate the gene-dosage effect in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), metabolic studies were conducted in a group of well-characterized patients with either heterozygous (n = 7) or homozygous (n = 7) FH and the results were compared to those obtained in normal subjects (n = 6). The turnover of 125I-labeled low-density lipoprotein (LDL) was measured in all of the normals, all but one of the FH heterozygotes, and in all of the homozygotes. Chemical cholesterol balance was performed simultaneously with the 125I-LDL turnover in all seven of the homozygotes.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
