Outcome of case finding among relatives of patients with known heterozygous familial

16 Dec 2000

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: To assess the feasibility of detecting new cases of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia by using a nurse led genetic register. DESIGN: Case finding among relatives of patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia. SETTING: Two lipid clinics in central and south Manchester. SUBJECTS: 259 (137 men and 122 women) probands and 285 first degree relatives. RESULTS: Of the 200 first degree relatives...
