To Correct or not to Correct (for treatment): Estimating Pre-treatment LDL-C Co...
Stevens, C.A.T.; Elshorbagy, A.; Vallejo-Vaz, A.J.; Dharmayat, K.; Lyons, A.; Bourbon, M.; Chora, J.; Humphries, S.E.; Catapano, A.L.; Hovingh, G.Background and Aims: Pretreatment LDL-C measurements aid familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) diagnosis, and are crucial in epidemiologic studies investigating FH, but are often unavailable because individuals are already on lipid-lowering medication (LLM). Several formulae have been reported to estimate pre-treatment LDL-C in people on LLM by ‘correcting’ their LDL-C concentrations for LLM type and dosage, base...
Resolving conflicting LDLR variants in ClinVar - Progress of the ClinGen famili...
Chora, J.; Iacocca, M.; Elnagheeb, M.; Kullo, I.; Bourbon, M.; on behalf of the ClinGen FH VCEPFamilial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic disorder of lipid metabolism. Genetic testing can confirm the clinical diagnosis, but there are currently over 3300 different variants in LDLR deposited in ClinVar and ~400 had conflicting classifications of pathogenicity. Here, we present the progress of LDLR variant classification by the FH Variant Curation Expert Panel (VCEP), composed of 13 rev...
Spectrum and frequency of gjb2 mutations in a cohort of 264 portuguese nonsyndr...
Matos, T. D.; Simões-Teixeira, H.; Caria, Helena; Gonçalves, A. C.; Chora, J.; Correia, M. C.; Moura, C.; Rosa, H.; Monteiro, L.; O'Neill, A.; Dias, O.Objective: To assess the spectrum and prevalence of mutations in the GJB2 gene in Portuguese nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss (NSSHL) patients. Design: Sequencing of the coding region, basal promoter, exon 1 and donor splice site of the GJB2 gene; screening for the presence of the two common GJB6 deletions. Study sample: A cohort of 264 Portuguese NSSHL patients. Results: At least one out of 21 different...
