Hypercholesterolemia in children and adolescents: focus on the familial variant
Familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by a significant increase in serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration, which even in the absence of other risk factors leads to the development of atherosclerotic vascular lesions beginning in

Exosome-based Ldlr gene therapy for familial hypercholesterolemia in a mouse model
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), with high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels, is due to inherited mutations in genes, such as low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR).
