Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on identifying genetic variants associated with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Latvian patients, as there is limited existing data on this condition in Latvia.
- - Whole genome sequencing was conducted on patients from the Latvian Registry of FH, revealing that 20.9% had pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants, primarily in the
- LDLR
- gene.
- - Although many patients had high LDL-cholesterol levels indicative of FH, the low diagnostic yield suggests that other genetic factors or mechanisms may play a role in this population.
