Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The functional LDLR rs6511720 polymorphism has been implicated in lipid metabolism and cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to investigate its association with clinically relevant Low-Density Lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) threshold (≥130 mg/dL), cardiometabolic burden, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), with emphasis on sex-specific effects. METHODS AND RESULTS: A cross-sectional data analysis...
