Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a well-understood Mendelian disorder that increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a leading cause of mortality in Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) countries. OBJECTIVE: Review the reporting status of FH mutations across MENA and propose a systemic and strategic method for building a MENA FH registry. METHODS: Systematic literature search for...
