چکیده
The Blueprint Genetics Hyperlipidemia Panel is ideal tool for genetic analysis of patients with virtually any type of monogenic (Mendelian inheritance) dyslipidemia disorder. All classical familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) genes (APOB, LDLR, LDLRAP1 and PCSK9) as well as genes associated with other hyperlipidemias such as ‘type 3 hyperlipidemia’ (APOE), sitosterolemia (ABCG5, ABCG8), lipoprotein lipase deficiency (LPL) and apolipoprotein-C deficiencies (APOC2, APOC3) are included in the analysis.
