Abstract

Loss-of-function ANGPTL3 variants are associated with beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and reduced risk of coronary heart disease.


The beneficial changes in lipid parameters obtained by ANGPTL3 inhibition together with atheroprotection observed in animal models and in epidemiological studies of human genetics make ANGPTL3 a new therapeutic target to prevent cardiovascular diseases. Two novel strategies have emerged to inhibit this protein: a monoclonal antibody and an antisense oligonucleotide, with the ability to significantly lower plasma cholesterol and triglycerides. Although the horizon is promising, we still do not know if the effects of a variant present from the beginning of life will be reproduced by the inhibition of this protein that takes place later in life through a pharmacological intervention.
