Clinical Trial: Genetic Study of Sitosterolemia

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational

Official Title:

Brief Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

I. Identify the genetic defect and fine map the gene that causes sitosterolemia.

Detailed Summary:

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients, family members, and normal volunteers provide blood samples for genetic studies and may fill out a general health and medication history.

Linkage analysis and microsatellite screening is performed on genomic DNA, especially chromosome 2p21, between microsatellite markers D2S1788 and D2S1352.

Positive results may be reported to the patient and may influence future treatment.
