Maternal inheritance of FH may increase odds of subclinical coronary calcium by midlife

Maternal inheritance of FH may increase odds of subclinical coronary calcium by midlife

Researchers in France observed that maternal inheritance of familial hypercholesterolemia was associated with greater odds of having subclinical coronary atherosclerosis compared with paternal inheritance of the gene mutation.
