The genetic diagnosis of FH is usually based on the analysis of three main genes: LDLR, APOB, and PCSK9. APOB variants are responsible for about 5%-10% of FH cases and in the last years, the whole gene has been sequenced due to next generation sequencing (NGS), increasing the variant spectrum of APOB.engFamilial HypercholesterolemiaDisorder of Lipid MetabolismDoenças Cardio e Cérebro-vascularesPortugalPortuguese Familial Hypercholesterolemia Study as the basis of APOB Variants Databaseconference object
