Identification of novel variants in the LDLR gene in Russian patients with familial hypercholesterolemia using targeted sequencing
17 Nov 2020
Abstract excerpt
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused by mutations in various genes, including the LDLR, APOB and PSCK9 genes; however, the spectrum of these mutations in Russian individuals has not been fully investigated. In the present study, mutation screening was performed on the LDLR gene and other FH‑associated genes in patients with definite or possible FH, using next‑generation sequencing. In total, 59 unrelated...
