Choi H, Ruel I, Choi S, Iatan I, Choi S, Lee J, et al.
Int J Mol Sci . 2025 Feb; 26(4). PMID: 40003949
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles form during cellular cholesterol removal, positioning HDL biogenesis as a potential strategy to combat atherosclerosis. We identified desmocollin 1 (DSC1) as a negative regulator of HDL...

J Clin Lipidol . 2025 Feb; PMID: 40000284
Background: Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, this risk is heterogeneous, and the contribution of several clinical risk factors has been...

J Clin Lipidol . 2024 Dec; 19(1):105-113. PMID: 39638644
Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disease of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) metabolism. Despite the devastating effect of this disease on atherosclerotic cardiovascular health, the disease phenotype...

Eur Heart J . 2024 Jul; 45(35):3231-3250. PMID: 38976372
Background And Aims: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a highly prevalent monogenic disorder characterized by elevated LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Sex disparities in diagnosis, lipid-lowering therapy,...

JACC Adv . 2024 Jun; 2(3):100315. PMID: 38939583
Background: Hypercholesterolemia is a common condition characterized by elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Indigenous populations experience disproportionate rates of ASCVD,...
