The key aim of FH and Genetic Dyslipidaemia Satellite to the ISA2012 meeting is to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of issues ranging from molecular science to clinical care.

Presentations will focus on recent clinical and scientific advances in key and emerging areas including:

  • Case finding and clinical assessment of FH
  • Genetic control of Apo B secretion and function
  • Laboratory diagnosis and assessment of FH
  • Genetic control of HDL and reverse cholesterol transport
  • Genes and Geography: Continental lessons in genetic dyslipidaemia
  • The logistics of cascade screening
  • Detecting and explaining novel genetic causes of dyslipidaemia
  • Genes affecting triglyceride and thrombophyllia
  • Lipoprotein (a) and apo (a)
  • Novel therapies for genetic dyslipidaemia
  • Current and future challenges
