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 |
