PCSK9 Inhibitors Reduce Oxidative Stress Biomarkers in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
ABSTRACT Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors, such as alirocumab and evolocumab, effectively reduce LDL‐C levels, improve cardiovascular outcomes, and are well tolerated in the treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH).

First LDLRAP1 and Recurrent LDLR Mutations in Tunisian Families With Familial Hypercholesterolemia
ABSTRACT Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder characterised by elevated plasma LDL‐cholesterol, predisposing to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Most cases follow an autosomal dominant pattern (ADH) caused by pathogenic variants in LDLR, APOB or PCSK9.
