Abstract excerpt
Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited semidominant disorder characterized by high plasma cholesterol levels and increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease. More than 3,000 low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) variants have been identified, most lack functional evidence to determine their pathogenicity. One of them is the exon13_15dup, the most frequent FH-causing variant in...
