The impact of gene variants on the thickness and softness of the Achilles tendon in familial hypercholesterolemia

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is characterized by high low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, xanthoma of the Achilles tendon (AT), and premature coronary artery disease (CAD).
