Keywords:
familial hypercholesterolemia, genotypic and phenotipic manifestations of LDL-receptorgene mutation - and mutation of apoB-100, management of familial hypercholesterolemiaAbstract
Genotypic and phenotypic manifestations of familial hypercholesterolemia are of great variability. We represent two rare clinical cases of familial hypercholesterolemia. Ayoungfemale with homozygous phenotype (high LDL-C levels, multiple tendon xanthomas and 'premature coronary and cerebral atherosclerosis). Genetic investigation showed revealed 2 different mutations in the LDL-receptorgene.
