Differential effects of PCSK9 variants on risk of coronary disease and ischaemic stroke
- Abstract:
-
Aims: PCSK9 genetic variants that have large effects on low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and coronary heart disease (CHD) have prompted the development of therapeutic PCSK9-inhibition. However, there is limited evidence that PCSK9 variants are associated with ischaemic stroke (IS). Methods and Results: Associations of the loss-of-function PCSK9 genetic variant (rs11591147; R46L), and 5 additional PCSK9 variants, with IS and IS subtypes (cardioembol... Expand abstract
