1. The document discusses proteins moving based on size in columns A, B, and C, with the LDL receptor proteins moving farther down the columns for George compared to normal.
2. Rachel looked at George's DNA because something was different at a spot on his chromosome 19, which is related to the LDL receptor that causes his familial hypercholesterolemia condition.
3. By analyzing the family's DNA, Rachel could determine if others in George's family also had changes in the gene for the LDL receptor that controls cholesterol levels.

28. Reviewing George’s Symptoms
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH)
• Very high cholesterol in blood
• Waxy patches on the skin
• Chest pain and heart attacks at a young age
• Build up of fatty deposits on under skin and in arteries

35. Why did Rachel look at George’s DNA?
One of George’s
chromosomes,
chromosome 19, had
an arrow pointing at
one spot on it. This
arrow indicated
something was
different at this spot
on chromosome 19.
What does DNA have to do with the
LDL receptor that causes FH
disease? 35
