Clinical diagnosis is usually based on high total cholesterol or LDL-C levels and family history of premature coronary heart disease. Using an extended lipid profile of paediatric dyslipidemic patients, we aim to identify biomarkers for a better diagnosis of FH in clinical settings.engDoenças Cardio e Cérebro-vascularesFamilial Hypercholesterolemiaconference object
