Abstract
We undertook the present study to evaluate the lipid profile in 82 (51 male, 31 female) Greek individuals with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), aged 13–61 years from 22 families. FH heterozygotes had significantly elevated serum Lp(a) levels in comparison with 82 normal controls. Serum Lp(a) levels were also increased in FH probands compared to their controls. Additionally, serum Lp(a) concentration was elevated in the FH heterozygotes compared to their unaffected first degree relatives.
