Genetic diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolemia in India.

Case numbers Age Male Diagnosis criteria Genotyping Main Findings References
100 39 (3–74) 63 (63.0%) Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria (adapted for the Indian population) Sanger sequencing, MLPA, and NGS Genetic mutations were identified in 47 cases (47.0%). Based on modified Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria, mutations were detected in 91.4% of definite FH cases, in 40% of probable FH cases, and in 18.8% of possible FH cases. Setia et al., 2020
