Exploring Pleiotropic Effects of Lipid Modifiers and Targets on Measures of the Coagulation System with Genetics
1 Dec 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Background Statins have long been suspected to have pleiotropic effects via thrombotic factors. Randomized controlled trials are too limited to be definitive. We examined the associations of genetically mimicking effects of statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and alternative lipid targets (in genes LDLR, APOC3, and LPL) on key indicators of coagulation system function, i.e., prothrombin time (PT) and activated...
