To identify novel FH loci in Chinese individuals, we performed a genome-wide linkage analysis of a Chinese pedigree without the known FH mutations in LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9, using an Illumina Human Linkage-12 panel, which contains 6,090 SNP markers with an average spacing of 0.58 cM. This evidence concerns the gene APOB and familial hyperaldosteronism.
