Abstract excerpt
Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with premature atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. LDLR deleterious mutations are associated with FH, however the role of some missense variants in FH pathogenicity remains to be elucidated. This study explored the predictive impact of LDLR missense variants on protein structure and investigated their functional effects...
