The defective gene causing autosomal recessive hypercholesterolemia (ARH) encodes ARH, a clathrin-associated adaptor protein required for low-density-lipoprotein receptor endocytosis in most cells but not in skin fibroblasts. The aim here was to elucidate why ARH fibroblasts grow slowly and undergo premature senescence.
