What is the clinical utility of DNA testing in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia?

Current opinion in lipidology - 1 Aug 2008

Humphries Steve E, Norbury Gail, Leigh Sarah, Hadfield S Gaye, Nair Devikair

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Familial hypercholesterolaemia is a common genetic disorder of lipid metabolism in which patients have a significantly elevated risk of early coronary heart disease, which can be substantially lowered by treatment with the statin class of drugs. In many countries in Europe, tra...
