The associations of the PCSK7 gene polymorphisms (rs508487 T/C, rs236911 C/A, and rs236918 C/G) with lipid plasma concentrations have been proposed as the mechanism that would explain the relationship between these polymorphisms and the higher risk of developing coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, hypertriglyceridemia, and fatty liver [4,6,10,11,12,13]. Here, PCSK7 is linked to atherosclerosis.
