Abstract excerpt

AIMS: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an inherited disease of high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) caused by defects in LDLR, APOB, APOE, and PCSK9 genes. A pathogenic variant cannot be found in ∼60% of clinical FH patients. Using whole genome sequencing (WGS), we examined genetic determinants of FH. METHODS AND RESULTS: Whole genome sequencing data generated by the 100 000 Genomes Project (100KGP) included 536 FH...
