Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), one monogenic autosomal dominant disease, mainly results from genetic defects in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene, which leads to the reduction or absence of cell surface LDLR, disorder of cholesterol metabolism, and cholesterol deposition in different tissues and organs.
