Abstract excerpt
Familial hypercholesterolaemia is a co-dominant inherited disorder of lipoprotein metabolism, in which defects in the gene for the low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) receptor result in a twofold increase in the plasma concentration of cholesterol and moderate-to-severe premature coronary heart disease.
