Soubeyrand S, Lau P, McPherson R
Front Mol Biosci . 2025 Feb; 12:1548582. PMID: 39990870
Introduction: Constitutive Photomorphogenesis Protein 1 homolog (COP1) is a conserved E3 ligase with key roles in several biological systems. Prior work in hepatocyte-derived tumors categorized COP1 as an oncogene, but...

Paquette M, Ruel I, Guay S, Al-Baldawi Z, Brisson D, Gaudet D, et al.
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...

JACC Adv . 2024 Jun; 2(3):100309. PMID: 38939573
Background: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare genetic disease characterized by very high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Untreated patients present with extensive xanthomas and premature atherosclerosis. Lipid-lowering...
