The rs508487, rs236911, and rs236918 Genetic Variants of the Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin–Kexin Type 7 (<i>PCSK7</i>) Gene Are Associated with Acute Coronary Syndrome and with Plasma Concentrations of HDL-Cholesterol and Triglycerides
Dyslipidemia has a substantial role in the development of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Previous reports, including genome-wide associations studies (GWAS), have shown that some genetic variants of the proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin type 7 <i>(PCSK7)</i> gene are associated with...
