Prevalence of Dysbetalipoproteinemia in the UK Biobank According to Different Diagnostic Criteria

CONCLUSION: This study reported for the first time the prevalence of DBL in the UK Biobank according to genetic ancestry. Furthermore, we provided the first external validation of different diagnostic criteria for DBL in a large population-based cohort and highlighted the fact that these criteria should not be used to diagnose DBL alone but should rather be used as a first screening step to determine which individuals may benefit from genetic testing to confirm the diagnosis.PMID:38625929 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae259
