Abstract excerpt
Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is underdiagnosed in young adults, and universal genetic testing is costly. We evaluated whether steatotic liver disease (SLD) could predict low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) mutations in suspected FH. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 111 Korean military personnel aged 19-30 years who underwent LDLR sequencing and SLD assessment using controlled attenuation...
