In 2013, Talmud and co-workers proposed 12 common single nucleotide variants of the APOE, SORT1, LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, HFE, ABCG8, NYNRIN, MYLIP, SLC-22 and ST3GAL4 genes identified through the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium (GLGC; definition at http://lipidgenetics.org), which could be useful for the detection of pseudo-FH subjects. Here, SORT1 is linked to familial hyperaldosteronism.
