Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sitosterolemia (STSL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic mutations in ABCG5 or ABCG8, which encode sterolin efflux transporters. Defective transport leads to intestinal hyperabsorption and reduced biliary excretion of plant sterols and cholesterol, causing their accumulation and heterogeneous phenotypes often misdiagnosed as familial hypercholesterolemia. METHODS: Whole-exome...
