Familial hypercholesterolaemia in a Belgian community.

Acta cardiologica - 1 Dec 2000

Descamps O S

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a genetic disease in which low-density lipoproteins are defectively removed from plasma as a result of mutations that impair the function either of the LDL receptor or of the apolipoprotein B. The consequences are an elevated concentration of LDL-cholesterol and the early occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. Although FH is well understood, it remains a diagnostic challenge...
