Abstract

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. The second case is due to the mutation in apoB-100 gene that was never seen before in the population of Saint-Petersburg.
