Our center participates in several projects, the main one of which deals with the study of candidate genes modulating cardiovascular risk in Family Hypercholesterolemia (Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia, OMIM 606945), monogenic disease due to mutations in the recipient gene of LDL that has an important variability in the onset and development of atherosclerotic disease."
