Background:

  • Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common genetic disorder.
  • Identifying specific gene defects is now feasible in most FH patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the benefits of identifying specific gene defects in FH.
  • To establish genotype/phenotype correlations for predicting clinical course.

Main Methods:

  • Genetic analysis to identify specific gene defects.
  • Phenotypic assessment of patients with identified genetic variations.

Main Results:

  • Specific gene defects can be identified in the majority of FH patients.
  • This genetic knowledge aids in family screening.
