Induced pluripotent stem cell line ICGi037-A, obtained by reprogramming peripheral blood mononuclear cells from a patient with familial hypercholesterolemia due to heterozygous p.Trp443Arg mutations in LDLR.

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant disorder increasing premature cardiovascular diseases risk due to atherosclerosis. Pathogenic mutations in the LDLR gene cause most FH cases. Available treatments are effective not for all LDLR mutations.
