    Author: Meng X, Lin J, Gao X, Guo J, Xin C, Wang J.
    Journal: Indian J Ophthalmol; 2013 Dec; 61(12):770-1. PubMed ID: 24088637.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a 12-year-old male who developed corneal arcus and multiple skin lesions with a 10-year history of xanthomas. The lesions appeared over his fingers, hands, elbows, knees, buttocks and feet. Laboratory studies showed a total serum cholesterol level of 752.1 mg/dL; a triglyceride level of 96.6 mg/dL; a low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level of 661.3 mg/dL. Findings were consistent with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. To our knowledge, this is the first such case to be reported from China.
