Investigation of the underlying genes and mechanism of familial hypercholesterolemia through bioinformatics analysis
Abstract Background Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the commonest inherited metabolic disorders. Abnormally high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in blood leads to premature atherosclerosis onset and a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the specific...
