Abstract:
Sitosterolemia shares clinical and biochemical features with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. Nevertheless, it is impressively responsive
to cholesterol-lowering diet. In our report, we demonstrate a rapid reduction of severe hypercholesterolemia in response to dietary
restriction in a young patient leading to the diagnosis of this rare disease. Early identification and treatment may prevent premature atherosclerosis.
