FH and familial hyperaldosteronism: Also examined was the presence of the mutations (p.Arg3500Gln, p.Arg3500Trp, p.Arg3531Cys, and p.His3543Tyr) in the gene coding for APOB. The FH-causing variants were identified in seven (46.6%) individuals of the 15 screened patients, whereas no mutation was detected in eight patients clinically diagnosed with FH and premature CAD.
