Abstract
It is now possible to identify the specific gene defect in the majority of patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia. A potential benefit of this knowledge, in addition to helping with family screens, is to be able to predict the future clinical course. In order to do this, detailed genotype/phenotype correlation studies are required.
