Abstract
Aim: Methylation of LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 CpG sites was assessed in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Methods: DNA methylation of was analyzed by pyrosequencing in 131 FH patients and 23 normolipidemic (NL) subjects.Results: LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRP1 methylation was similar between FH patients positive (MD) and negative (non-MD) for pathogenic variants in FH-related genes. LDLR and PCSK9 methylation was higher in MD and non-MD groups than NL subjects (p < 0.05). LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 methylation profiles were associated with clinical manifestations and cardiovascular events in FH patients (p < 0.05).Conclusion: Differential methylation of LDLR, PCSK9 and LDLRAP1 is associated with hypercholesterolemia and cardiovascular events. This methylation profile maybe useful as a biomarker and contribute to the management of FH.
期刊介绍:
Epigenomics provides the forum to address the rapidly progressing research developments in this ever-expanding field; to report on the major challenges ahead and critical advances that are propelling the science forward. The journal delivers this information in concise, at-a-glance article formats – invaluable to a time constrained community.
Substantial developments in our current knowledge and understanding of genomics and epigenetics are constantly being made, yet this field is still in its infancy. Epigenomics provides a critical overview of the latest and most significant advances as they unfold and explores their potential application in the clinical setting.
