Serum reserve cholesterol binding capacity (SRCBC) was studied in 28 members of five kindreds with familial hypercholesterolemia (HC). A significantly lower SRCBC was found in family members heterozygous or homozygous for HC than in their healthy relatives. Hypothetically, the low SRCBC in HC patients could contribute to their propensity to develop premature atherosclerosis.
