Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Autosomal dominant familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by mutations in LDLR,APOB and PCSK9. Two new putative loci causing FH have been identified recently, the p.(Leu167del) mutation in APOE and new mutations in the signal transducing adaptor family member STAP1. We aimed at investigating the role of STAP1 mutations in the etiology of FH. METHODS: We sequenced LDLR, APOB, PCSK9,...
