Abstract excerpt
Aim: Functional analysis of PCSK9 3'UTR variants and mRNA-miRNA interactions were explored in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Materials & methods:PCSK9 3'UTR variants were identified by exon-targeted gene sequencing. Functional effects of 3'UTR variants and mRNA-miRNA interactions were analyzed using in silico and in vitro studies in HEK293FT and HepG2 cells. Results: Twelve PCSK9 3'UTR variants...
