Cross-species summary: Hypercholesterolemia; see also OMIA:001160: Hyperlipidaemia

Species-specific description: Sato et al. (2023) "generated an FH [familial hypercholesterolemia] model in a non-human primate (cynomolgus monkeys) by deleting the LDL receptor (LDLR) gene using the genome editing technique." This phene includes references to studies involving gene edited or genetically modified organisms (GMO).

Genetic engineering: Yes - variants have been created artificially, e.g. by genetic engineering or gene editing
Have human generated variants been created, e.g. through genetic engineering and gene editing
