Studies on the clinical consequences of different low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor genotypes in adult patients have yielded conflicting results. We hypothesized that children with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) provide a better model to perform genotype-phenotype analyses than adults. We tested this hypothesis and assessed the effect of LDL receptor genotypes on lipoprotein levels and on parental risk...
