Carotid Artery Stenting Versus Carotid Endarterectomy: Post CREST.

abstract：:Several next generation sequencing platforms allow for a DNA-to-diagnosis protocol to identify the molecular basis of monogenic dyslipidemias. However, recent reports of the application of whole genome or whole exome sequencing in families with severe dyslipidemias have largely identified genetic variants in known lip...
