Methods: Genetic variants in LDLR, apolipoprotein B (APOB), apolipoprotein E (APOE), proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), signal transducing Adaptor Family Member 1 (STAP1), low density lipoprotein receptor adaptor protein 1 (LDLRAP1) and lipase A, and lysosomal acid type lipase A (LIPA), as well as a genetic risk score, were evaluated in 84 individuals with a clinical diagnosis of FH based on the Dutch Lipid Clinics Network criteria (DLCN ≥ 6). The gene discussed is LIPA; the disease is familial hyperaldosteronism.
