dc.description.abstractIntroduction: FH is an autosomal dominant disease of lipid metabolism. Hypercholesterolemia, xanthomas, and death from early coronary artery disease (CAD) are common in this disease due to a mutation in the LDLR, Apo-B100 or PCSK9 genes. Case report: A 4-year-old male patient with a very rare heterozygous c.1730G >C (p.Trp577Ser) variation in exon 12 of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) gene that causes familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) was reported. As in this case, the heterozygous form may not show any symptoms in the first decade. This variation is region specific. Therefore, region-specific diagnostic criteria should be developed. Conclusion: We aimed to contribute to the literature on the development of diagnostic criteria by discussing the patient's condition with the clinical results. © 2022 Sciendo. All rights reserved.
