Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Level Quantitative Trait Locus 8 (LDLCQ8)

External Ids:

OMIM® 57 618079

OMIM® : ⁵⁷ LDLCQ8 is a quantitative trait affecting LDL cholesterol levels that is effected through the LIMA1 gene, which has a key role in intestinal cholesterol absorption. Individuals with LIMA1 mutations that impair protein function have reduced plasma LDL cholesterol levels and reduced cholesterol absorption (Zhang et al., 2018). (618079) (Updated 05-Apr-2021)
