Accepted: 15 Apr 2017 Abstract Background and Objectives: Atherosclerosis is a type of cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is known as the most important cause of death in the world. In atherosclerosis, arteries get thicker due to the entry of lipids and become inflamed. Epidemiological studies have shown that in addition to demographic and laboratory factors (age, sex, cholesterol, smoking, hypertension, obesity, and diabetes), genetic factors are also associated with progression of atherosclerosis. LDL-C is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In this study, the relationship of PCSK9 levels with serum sdLDL-C levels and other variables, was investigated.
