Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Defective low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) alleles have been implicated in familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). However, their contribution might have been influenced by diagnostic criteria. This study was aimed to reassess the frequency of rare and common variants in LDLR and LPL in FCHL individuals classified with stringent criteria. METHODS: LDLR and LPL were...
