Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder, caused by mutation in Low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) gene. METHODS: Cross-sectional study conducted to recruit the population of Karachi-Pakistan, screened for familial hypercholesterolemia. A total of 1523 hypercholesterolemic individuals have taken part in the study, five were found to be familial hypercholesterolemia. Their...
