Atherosclerosis constitutes the leading cause of death worldwide, surpassing violence. Gi- ven the physiopathological complexity it presents, it is important to recognize the genetic and atherogenic alterations associated with its development biology, which is useful for the prevention and control of obstructive vascular disease. The genetic inheritance pattern and the availability of candidate genes, such as PCSK9, APOB, APOA5, APOC3, ApoE, ABCA1, LPA, involved in the synthesis and metabolism of lipoproteins, show the pos- sibility of establishing biomarkers related to alterations in plasma levels, demonstrating their risk association in different populations, which allows the identification of potential therapeutic targets.
