Genetic and Clinical Characteristics of Patients With Homozygous and Compound Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia From Three Different Populations: Case Series
11 Sept 2020
Abstract excerpt
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) and compound heterozygous FH (cHeFH) are rare disorders generated by disease-causing variants in both alleles of the LDLR or other FH-related genes. HoFH and cHeFH are characterized by severely elevated low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), frequently leading to early cardiovascular disease. We investigated the genetic and clinical characteristics of HoFH...
