Impact of genetic defects on atherosclerosis in patients suspected of familial hypercholesterolaemia.

European journal of clinical investigation - 1 Nov 2001

Descamps O S, Gilbeau J P, Leysen X, Van Leuven F, Heller F R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Among patients with severe hypercholesterolaemia and a family history of early cardiovascular disease, we assessed whether patients with mutations of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and apolipoprotein B genes related to familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) have a different degree of atherosclerosis than those without such mutations. METHOD: In our lipid clinics, 273 patients were selected on the...
