Description

The Portuguese FH Study (PFHS) started in 1999. The aim of the PFHS is to identify the cause of dyslipidemia in patients with a clinical diagnosis of FH. To date, 452 pediatric patients were referred to us, 288 of which are index patients. The aim of this study was to analyse the lipid profile and molecular diagnosis of children recruited for the PFHS.
