Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a heterogeneous autosomal dominant disease. The genetic heterogeneity of FH requires low-cost, high-throughput, and rapid mutation detection technology to efficiently integrate genetic screening into clinical practice. OBJECTIVES: The aims of the study were to customize the MassARRAY assay to (1) establish an FH mutation assay panel, comprising known point...
