Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by an increase in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and premature coronary heart disease, which can be caused by mutations in genes encoding the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is caused by mutations in the genes coding for the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B-100 (APOB), or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is commonly caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 genes.
Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH), characterized by isolated elevation of plasmatic LDL cholesterol and premature cardiovascular complications, is associated with mutations in 3 major genes: LDLR (LDL receptor), APOB (apolipoprotein B) and PCSK9(proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), characterized by isolated elevation of plasmatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and premature coronary heart disease (CHD), is associated with mutations in three major genes: LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B-100 (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is commonly caused by mutations in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor gene (LDLR), in the apolipoprotein B-100 gene (APOB), or in the proprotein convertase subtilisin kexine 9 gene (PCSK9).
Autosomal Dominant Hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is due to defects in the LDL receptor gene (LDLR), the apolipoprotein B-100 gene (APOB) or the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 gene (PCSK9).
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), due to the mutations in the LDLR, APOB, or PCSK9 genes, is characterized by an isolated elevation of cholesterol due to the high levels of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs).
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the genes coding for the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type-9 (PCSK9) or apo-lipoprotein B-100 (APOB).
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), its ligand apoB (APOB) or proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the genes for LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB) and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type9 (PCSK9).
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH) is associated with mutations in the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 (PCSK9) genes, and it is estimated to be greatly underdiagnosed.
Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia, being referred to as familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), is mainly due to defective LDL receptor (LDLR) function, but is also associated with variants in genes encoding APOB (LDLR ligand) and PCSK9, the catabolic regulator of LDLR.
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a monogenic dominant inherited disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein levels, and is mainly attributable to mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B (APOB), and proportein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes.
PCSK9 is the third locus implicated in autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (Hchola3), and it appears to play an important role in cellular cholesterol metabolism.
Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is associated with familial autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia and is a natural inhibitor of the LDL receptor (LDLr).
