          In the early 1980s, the Nobel Prize winning cellular and molecular work of Mike Brown and Joe Goldstein led to the identification of the LDL receptor gene as the first gene where mutations cause the familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) phenotype. We now know that autosomal dominant monogenic FH can be caused by pathogenic variants of three additional genes (APOB/PCSK9/APOE) and that the plasma LDL-C concentration and risk of premature coronary heart disease differs according to the specific locus and associated molecular cause.

      An error was noticed in the caption to Fig. 2. The first sentence of the caption included the reference citation “data from Huijgen et al. (46).” However, reference 46 is an article by Humphries et al. Therefore, the correct reference citation in the first sentence of the Fig. 2 caption is “data from Humphries et al. (46).”
