Özet
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the low density lipoprotein receptor gene. The disease is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease early in life. In this article, we present a 13-year-old boy with familial homozygous hypercholesterolemia who had an extensive coronary artery disease and underwent successful coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
