PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9) is a gene that helps regulate levels of 'bad' cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) in the blood. It is the target of several treatments used to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. Naturally occurring loss-of-function variants of PCSK9 that switch the gene off have been shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.
