Which of the following is not related to familial hypercholesterolemia?

ALDL receptor can bind with LDL
BMutations in the LDL receptor gene
CLDL cannot be degraded after entering the cell
DAbsence of LDL receptor

Correct answer: A. LDL receptor can bind with LDL

Familial hypercholesterolemia is caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene, absence or dysfunction of the LDL receptor, and inability to degrade LDL post-entry into cells. The LDL receptor can bind with LDL is not a characteristic feature of this condition.
