Abstract(s)

AiM: To define the 5’UTR and promoter regions of the PCSK9 gene, as well as, to perform an in vitro characterization of variants in LDLR and PCSK9 genes in the regulatory regions mentioned above. This project will also contribute to an accurate identification of FH patients allowing for a better patient management.
