Will evinacumab become the standard treatment for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia?

Sheila A. Doggrell

Summary: HoFH is a severe genetic form of hypercholesterolemia with elevated LDL cholesterol levels and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Evinacumab, an inhibitor of ANGPTL3, shows some improvement in cholesterol levels in HoFH patients but has limitations in reducing LDL cholesterol to target levels. Further studies are needed to evaluate its effects on liver enzymes and clinical outcomes.

Multiple Linear Regression Allows Weighted Burden Analysis of Rare Coding Variants in an Ethnically Heterogeneous Population

David Curtis

Summary: Weighted burden analysis is applied to exome-sequenced case-control studies to identify genes associated with phenotype, with adjustments made for rare variants and covariates. The method shows promising results in heterogeneous datasets, providing a way to analyze rare variants without discarding data from ethnic minority subjects.

Coalescing expansile skeletal disease: Delineation of an extraordinary osteopathy involving the IFITM5 mutation of osteogenesis imperfecta type V

Michael P. Whyte et al.

Summary: The study reported a rare bone disease affecting a 12-year-old boy and an unrelated 51-year-old woman, both demonstrating similar symptoms and a genetic mutation. The boy's skeletal bones coalesced into a single structure by age 10, while the woman suffered from this disease lifelong and showed accelerated bone turnover. Both individuals harbored the heterozygous point mutation in IFITM5 associated with osteogenesis imperfecta type V.
