Hipercolesterolemia familiar heterocigota: diagnóstico molecular y terapia combinada. Caso clínico

Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia affects one every 400 individuals, is caused by mutations in the LDL receptor gene and is associated with premature coronary artery disease. Nowadays, LDL cholesterol can be efficiently reduced with the new therapies to reduce blood lipids. We report a fema...
