As of 2026-09-14

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Hypercholesterolemia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 8 linked drugs keep the current disease frame grounded. Protein identity stays anchored to UniProt Q8NBP7. Start with Hypercholesterolemia, then reuse UniProt Q8NBP7 as the stable protein anchor across project notes and exports.

Disease program
Hypercholesterolemia

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 shows approved-linked disease relevance led by Hypercholesterolemia. 5 more disease programs remain visible in the same review block. 8 linked drugs remain visible in the same block.

Start review with Hypercholesterolemia because it currently carries approved-linked support. Linked drugs include ALIROCUMAB, BOCOCIZUMAB, EVOLOCUMAB, FROVOCIMAB. This disease block keeps the Open Targets-ready contract explicit while current evidence comes from ChEMBL mechanism and indication mappings.
