Identification of a novel LDLR p.Glu179Met variant in Thai families with familial hypercholesterolemia and response to treatment with PCSK9 inhibitor.

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disease characterized by elevated LDL-C levels. In this study, two FH probands and 9 family members from two families from northeastern Thailand were tested for LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9 variants by whole-exome sequencing, PCR-HRM, and Sanger sequencing. In silico analysis of LDLR was performed to analyse its structure‒function relationship. A novel variant of LDLR...
