Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genetic polymorphisms play a significant role in cholesterol homeostasis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of PCSK9 genetic variations NM_174936.3:c.137G>T (R46L, rs11591147) and NM_174936.3:c.1120G>T (D374Y, rs137852912), as well as promoter DNA methylation status, with mRNA expression and circulating serum protein levels in...
