Excerpt

Introduction. Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 6 (LRP6) is a co-receptor in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signalling pathway. Common (I1062V) and rare (R61 1C) variants display reduced activation Wnt/beta-catenin signalling. The rare gene variant causes hypertension, metabolic abnormalities, and early coronary artery disease. …
