METHODS METHODS
Targeted next-generation sequencing of 27 genes involved in lipid metabolism was performed in patients with low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels greater than 5 mmol/L who were referred to our centre between May 2016 and July 2018. The proportion of patients carrying likely pathogenic or pathogenic variants in
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 227 out of the 1528 referred patients (14.9%) were heterozygous carriers of a pathogenic variant in
