Molecular genetic diagnosis of a heterozygous form of familial hypercholesterolemia at a young age: a clinical case

Атеросклероз, 2022
Patients with familial hypercholesterolemia should be monitored throughout life, starting at an early age, since high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol from birth and its cumulative effect play a significant role in the early development of ...

Lipoprotein(a) in children and adolescents with genetically confirmed familial hypercholesterolemia followed up at a specialized lipid clinic

Atherosclerosis Plus
Background and aim: Many children with an FH mutation also exhibit elevated lipoprotein(a) levels, which is an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
