2023-11-03
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background:</bold> Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism caused by pathogenic variants in both alleles of key low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR)-mediated pathway genes, resulting in very high LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels from birth. The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) inhibitor, lomitapide, is...
