Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Familial sitosterolemia is a rare, recessive Mendelian disorder characterized by hyperabsorption and decreased biliary excretion of dietary sterols. Affected individuals typically have complete genetic deficiency – homozygous loss-of-function (LoF) variants — in the ATP-binding cassette transporter G5 ( ABCG5 ) or G8 ( ABCG8 ) genes, and have substantially elevated plasma sitosterol and low-...
