Williams RR et al. Diagnosing heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia using new practical criteria validated by molecular genetics. Am J Cardiol. PMID: 8328379. MEDPED total-cholesterol and LDL cut-points rise with age and are lower for closer relatives of an affected person. Meeting either the LDL or the total-cholesterol cut-point for that age and relationship classifies heterozygous FH. (1993)
