Epigenomics (Online); 16 (11-12), 2024
AIM: Methylation of LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 CpG sites was assessed in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). METHODS: DNA methylation of was analyzed by pyrosequencing in 131 FH patients and 23 normolipidemic (NL) subjects. RESULTS: LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRP1 methylation was similar between FH pat...
