Genetic Assessment of Potential Long-Term On-Target Side Effects of PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9) Inhibitors
1 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although short-term trials have suggested that PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) inhibitors are safe and reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases, their long-term safety is unclear. Genetic variants associated with lower activity of a gene can act as proxies to identify potential long-term side effects of drugs as recently exemplified by association of LDL (low-density...
