Comment on list classification: Based on additional reports in three unrelated casesCreated: 1 Jun 2017, 10:57 a.m.
Biallelic variants reported in 4 children (from 3 families) referred to the Portuguese FH Study, all with a clinical diagnosis of FH. Mild liver dysfunction was present at the age of FH diagnosis (PMID 28502505).Created: 1 Jun 2017, 10:55 a.m.
Quote from publication "Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LALD) is an autosomal recessive disorder and an unrecognized cause of dyslipidemia. FH cohorts should be investigated to identify possible LALD patients, who will need appropriate treatment. These results highlight the importance of correctly identifying the etiology of the dyslipidemia."Created: 13 Apr 2017, 2:18 p.m.
