The Blueprint Genetics Hyperlipidemia Panel is ideal tool for genetic analysis of patients with virtually any type of monogenic (Mendelian inheritance) dyslipidemia disorder. All classical familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) genes (APOB, LDLR, LDLRAP1 and PCSK9) as well as genes associated with other hyperlipidemias such as ‘type 3 hyperlipidemia’ (APOE), sitosterolemia (ABCG5, ABCG8), lipoprote...

Original Article OBJECTIVE: Dyslipidemia is an abnormal amount of lipids elevation in serum leads to hyperlipidemias (Hypercholesterolemia and Hypertriglyceredemia), which intern predisposes atherosclerosis and than triggers cardiovascular and cerebro vascular complications.The purpose of this case-control study was to corelate lipid patterns in Prediabetic and diabetic patients to non diabetic...

reductase inhibitors are the most widely used drug for the treatment of hyperlipidemias but their long term use is associated with rhabdomyolysis. Administration of simvastatin (80 mg/kg, p.o.) and gemfibrozil (600mg/kg, p.o. twice) for 30 days produced significant increase in the level of various serum parameters (creatine Phospho kinase, urea and blood urea nitrogen) indicating development of...
