UNLABELLED: BACKGROUND- Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), characterized by elevated plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, is caused by variants in at least 3 different genes: LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B-100, and proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9.
