Core Tip

Core Tip: We report a male Chinese patient diagnosed with Familial hypercholesterolemia with a heterozygous mutation, 1448G>A (W483X), of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR). By reviewing the literature, we speculate that the mutation may affect LDLR metabolism or structure and may lead to that responded modestly after treatment with Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor.
