Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The prevalence of clinical familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is very high in the Faroe Islands, but the possible causes are unknown. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to describe potential genetic causes of FH in the Faroe Islands and to investigate whether levels of lipoprotein(a) and measures of dietary habits were associated with clinical FH in the Faroe Islands. METHODS: In this case-control study, we...
