| Description | We describe the casuistry of a homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia female patient with a biallelic missense variant (NM_000527.4:c.1775G>A, p.Gly592Glu) in the LDLR gene, severe hypertriglyceridemia and late manifestation of coronary heart disease not earlier than at the age of 45 years. An atypical phenotype led to a delayed diagnosis. |
