Abstract
Familial hyperlipemia is an inherited disease associated with early onset of coronary atherosclerosis. In a survey of a student population in Sweden, an estimated case incidence of 2 to 3 percent was discovered. This study also demonstrates that there is probably a heterogeneity of causes for the primary elevation of blood triglycerides in man.Keywords
