Answer:

The result of a change in DNA is that there will be a mutation of some sort. This could be a nonsense mutation which would not code for anything, it could be a missense mutation that results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein made by a gene, an insertion which changes the number of DNA bases in a gene by adding a piece of DNA and as a result the protein made by the gene may not function properly, a deletion which changes the number of DNA bases by removing a piece of DNA, a duplication which consists of a piece of DNA that is abnormally copied one or more times, or a frameshift mutation which occurs when the addition or loss of DNA bases changes a gene's reading frame. A reading frame consists of groups of 3 bases that each code for one amino acid.

Some individuals have defective genes for LDL receptor receptors rendering them nonfunctional. Individuals with these mutations

deff fn [24]

Individuals with these mutations typically have familial hypercholesterolemia.
These genes provide information for the formation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a receptor that binds to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry the cholesterol in the blood and regulate the amount of cholesterol in the circulation. Mutations to these genes either reduce the number of receptors or cause several disruptions to their function. This results in high blood cholesterol levels and in a higher risk for heart disease.
