Résumé
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is known to be underdiagnosed and undertreated. The prevalence of heterozygous FH is estimated to be 1 in 500. Nevertheless, a recent meta-analysis of screening in the general population seems to show that the prevalence of FH is more likely to be 1 in 250.
