Disease: Hypocholesterolemia
Hypocholesterolemia
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE Mutations in PCSK9 that strengthen its interactions with LDLR result in familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and early onset atherosclerosis, while nonsense mutations of PCSK9 result in cardio-protective hypocholesterolemia. 31805108 2019

Disease: Hypocholesterolemia
Hypocholesterolemia
0.200 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE This challenging work in the genetics of hypercholesterolemia paved the way for a plethora of studies around the world allowing the characterization of PCSK9, its expression, its impact on reducing the abundance of LDL receptor, and the identification of loss-of-function mutations in hypocholesterolemia. 25052769 2014
CUI: C0151718
Disease: Hypocholesterolemia
Hypocholesterolemia
