Abstract excerpt
Early detection of genetic diseases such as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and the confirmation of related pathogenic variants, are crucial in reducing the risk for premature coronary artery disease. Currently, next-generation sequencing is used for detecting FH-related candidate genes but is expensive and time-consuming. There is a lack of kits suitable for the detection of the common FH-related variants in...
