Gain of function variants in PCSK9 gene in high risk patients after myocardial infarction with increased lipoprotein (a) values and treated with statins

Abstract The proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) regulates lipid metabolism, inflammation and haemostasis. Pathogenic gain-of-function variants in the PCSK9 gene are causative of autosomal-dominant form of familial hypercholesterolemia, while several PCSK9 alleles have been associa...
